Two leagues in the 10U (Angels) division incorporate a rule stating "after four walks in an inning, no additional batters can earn a base on balls". It can make for extremely boring games. I like to interject humor by announcing the count 15 balls and 1 strike.
One league in the 12U (Ponytails) division will not allow runners to score on pass balls or steal more than one base per pitch.
One league in the 6U (Sweeties) division will not allow the pitcher to tag the B/R between home and 1st.
Do you have any better ones than those to share?

Angels, ponytails and sweeties? Too funny! ours is pre-rookies, rookies, minors and majors. 6-8, 8-10, 11-12's and 13-16's. Pre's and rookies can't "steal" on passed balls. Minors(my kid plays) it is on! ASA rules, 7 runs per inning, cept the last. 10 after 4 complete, 6 inning games.As stated in another thread below, umps bang cheap strikes for jewlry delays.(not my cup of tea)I work the boys leagues.
Now we got one there, no curve balls(11-12's). I see some circle changes that some coaches want called a curve, I'll bang em if they be snapping it off, but.....
