USSSA Baseball

I've been asked to work a couple of games in USSSA baseball this evening. Their website was singularly unhelpful.

All I was given were the local rule addendums... which also do not tell me the ruleset!

1) What ruleset to they use - OBR, OBR with modifications, or do they have their own?
2) Anything weird I should know about if I'm already familiar with both OBR and FED rules?
3) Anything specific to 10U that is different?

They have their rules on their web site under "2007 Rules" - a menu item on their home page.

In a nutshell:

1) OBR with modifications.
2) They have a very involved pitching limitation rule, but I've heard some leagues and tournaments tend to ignore these rules. Check with the league or director.
3) According to the rules, you should be more lenient with 10U in regards to balks.
