Depending on your locale, the organization (PONY, LL, MSBL, IBL, etc.) or the ruleset (OBR, NFHS,....) there could be quite a lot. But that isn't the point I was making. The point I was making is that it is amazing that basic mechanics have to be pre-gamed in the first place when experienced umpires are involved.
