Jack, it sounds like you have experienced the dreaded "house rules". This is where well meaning but ignorant coach's and board members attempt to fix rules that they don't agree with. Most organizations frowns upon this, and your league should avoid trying to make the rules better by changing them locally.
What is your league going to do when a player slides at home because he was forced to by the league rules and breaks his leg? Bob P.

You should consider asking them why they feel the need to punish the offense when the defense messes up. After all it's not the offenses fault there was a WP/PB in the first place, so why should their runners be returned. On a small diamond the runner will almost always get at least one advance base on a passed ball that doesn't become lodged anyway. It's extremely rare to see a catcher throw out a runner on a WP/PB in Little League. The basepath's are too short.
Bob's comment on the "must slide rule" is right on the money. Such a rule is not only stupid, it can be dangerous. Tim.
