Official scorer mistake

I've umpired games on the small diamond where stealing was allowed and every walk was a triple.

I think LL has a pretty good rule that keeps players from getting an early jump, but doesn't eliminate them like softball (call them out).

When I was in TX they played Pony ball and it was the same way on the small diamonds.

Every kid that walked ended up on third base. (Until all-star time and then they had a catcher who could throw them out)

And the little pitchers could throw strikes from the windup, but once a runner was on they had to go to the stretch and many of them couldn't throw a strike.

Made for a long, slow game.

Dixie Youth is pretty similiar to LL as far as the lead off and its not a bad rule I don't think.

Thanks
