Can a LL All Star participate in a travel team at the same time as being on the LL All Star team?

The answer on active.com was before 2008- no, but now (2009 forward)- yes.

Agreed?

This is an umpires site however, I did fine a rule that pertains to this.

LL Rule 13.21 Specifically states that travel players are only allowed to participate on their affiliated local LL All Star team if the cost of Nachos and a soda are the same at both fields where they participate. Equitable monetary reimbursement is not an acceptable bartering method for price differentials, and is also not an acceptable method to obtain favorable slection to become a All Star participant. However, should the parents of the interested participant or the participant theirself have the ability to produce mass amounts of currency to the umpires that officiate their games, then by all means possible the participant should be allowed to play on any or all the teams they feel like. Also broadcasting of any of these games without the consent of the NFL, NBA, NHL and T-Ball should only be allowed if the umpires are very, very, very well compensated. This compensation, is above and beyond the initiation fee specifically mentioned above.
