Strike Zone

Actually 10U rec league, so my purpose was fun. My arguement really isn't relevent to play. The arguement is regarding the rules.

Where do you stop in your intent to make the game more fun for the kids. Is it OK if they lead of a 1/2 second early from any base? This is a judgement call right.

What if a team is down 10 to nothing, and there is a close play at first do you give the out to the team that is behind, because after all it is a judgement call.

What if a team is absolutely slottering another team and the losing team interferes with a runner (obstruction) doesn't slow her much and she gets out at a close call to the next base. The obstruction is a judgement call.

Where do you stop the judgement calls in an effort to make the game more enjoyable.

I am scared to think of the conversation this is going to initiate, but I just have to ask what gives you the right to call it different than the rule book.

Yes, my daughter plays 10U, but I have to say winning is more fun than losing to her. She pitches 6-7 days a week in order to pitch to spots, does she deserve the strike zone to be called right or does the other pitcher who doesn't work as hard as her deserve a break in order to make the game more fun?
