They used a continuous batting order, with every player batting. Each player was announced beforehand, stating his name and his team affiliation. No pitcher could pitch more than one inning. No team could score more than 5-runs an inning (at all age levels) and except for that rule and to track outs per inning, each game consisted of a full 7-innings. Coaches were prohibited from having their own kids on their team.
Talk about cameras! No pressure; no arguments; just a bunch of proud parents, coaches and kids.
Tournament teams however!!!! My Lord what a fiasco!

This is so Politically Correct it stinks. No wonder the world is in such a mess. Let's give them all a trophy. Waa! Waa! And while you're at it please don't spank my little Johnny in school.
Does anybody wonder why kids are shooting each other in schools these days? It's because we no longer teach the how to lose graciously.
