PONY and LL both banned the skullcaps

PONY was the last holdout among the youth leagues, I think.

Maybe part of it is these travel teams and tournaments borrowing / modifying different associations rules as well as growing pains of the travel team craze. Anyone with a checkbook it seems can be a travel team coach.

It just seems more prevalent this year.

Thanks, all.

So do I, and I haven't seen anything unusual. Coaches are always "confused" about the specific requirements for OBS and INT and how slightly different situations might change the requirements or the rulings.

OTOH, especially (but not limited to) the lower levels, the umpires might also be confused and rule incorrectly. So, the coach "believes" the incorrect ruling.
