Tim.
One coach mentioned to me today "we have a lot of local rules, but we'll let you know if they come up what the rule is." I quickly asked him to explain everything to me. Most leagues I work have just FPSR modifications under OBR, or give one balk warning early in the season, but this was the one league that really gave me a lot of trouble. Luckily, their season ends this weekend so I'll be back to "Big Boy" ball early next week.
