That's not true. The LL rulebook says that the team which used an ineligible pitcher automatically forfeits the games in which that pitcher threw. IMO, that should be the start of any punitive action, but that is up to your league"
I thought that I had the rules fairly well covered- still I am unable to see where the game would be forfeited; I was not able to protest before the umpires departed the field since I did not find out about the inilegibility of their pitcher until about 1 hour later; I did notify a board official immediately and then notified my division VP as soon as I located him; I agree that it is a reflection on the integrity of the Board, since this individual only got a team because he is a sponsor (read: he bought a team); If the rules (offical regulation and Playing rules for all divisions of Little league baseball) cover this, I would be most grateful if you could point me toward it;
thanks to all
