Here in Ottawa, Canada men's league pays $45 for plate and $35 for bases. Games are 7 innings but the time limit is kinda messed up, the rules state that it is 2 hours and 15 minutes but is shortend to 2 hours for most games.

Rule was set when weekday game times were at 6 and 8:30 but now they are 6:15 and 8:30 with lights going out at 11pm in the city. So in order to keep things on time the rule has unoffically changed to no new inning after 8:15 for the early game and 10:45 for the late game.

We have had a couple of problem in the past but the league has really cut down on that in the last couple of years. I think it was more from some umpires putting up with too much, thus things got out of hand.

Alot of problems in men's leagues start from the fact there is no real manager and all the players pay the same, therefore all feel they should get equal say.

In the five years in the league I think I may have tossed one manager, but 30-40 players (each year I get a game with 4-5 ejections).
