Years ago, I had a pool play game in an USSSA girls' FP tournament and the visitors huddled for about 55 seconds with its HC after their first at-bat before taking the field. I told the catcher to take the first pitch down to 2B. She gave me a puzzled look and complied. The HC started to pitch a hissy fit, but I told them that he can huddle all he wants between innings but he had better have his F1 and F out there with F1 throwing her warm-up pitches because his team has only one minute to take them. Both teams hustled pitchers and catchers (or coaches to do the catching) between innings after that.
