ineligible player

Does USA sanction have a penalty for a team that uses an ineligible (not illegal) player?

I worked a game last night where one team wanted to play the game under protest because they believed their opponents were using an ineligible player.

I told them that that was not under our purview, and would have to be addressed to the league's officers. Also, that this was the only protest that did not need to be made before the next pitch. I was actually notified as teams were changing up after 1.5 innings.

If USA doesn't have anything specific, which I haven't been able to find so far, I'd guess it would have to be under league rules and/or bylaws.

Thanx.
