LL vs FED

The local LL is short on umpires and our assoc has been asked to help out.
13-14 (intermediate?)

It's been a while for me doing LL and was hoping someone can lead me to a thread explaining some of the major differences between LL and FED.

I'm sure there are plenty!

Any help would be appreciated!

Gorilla arm is allowed.
Balk is not immediately dead (OBR)
No FPSR
8 pitches/1 minute between innings.
Tournament personnel should take care of the sub/pinch runner/pitching restrictions.
No Fed foot restrictions for windup or set
By the book the pitcher has to leave the dirt to go to his mouth. Some of us allow it as FED does now.
New restriction of one foot in the box for batter with exceptions.
OBR type A and B obstruction.

LL Slide rule is:

A runner is out if he does not slide or attempt to go around a fielder who has the ball and is waiting to make the tag.


Obstruction rule has the A and B BUT it does NOT have the "in the act of fielding" provision. Fielder must have the ball.

Thank You!

Is there MC or is it UC in LL?

I heard the last time these two teams played there was some UC situations!
I'm not going to look for nor do I want to toss anyone, just want to know my options.

Thanks again for your responses!

No MC rule. Use UC.
