Crow hop is never called!

JEL: In a lot of organizations there are different rules for different age levels (size of ball, pitching distance, stealing/no stealing, can't steal home, etc.). If the IP rules are unworkable at 10U, modify or delete the rule. No big deal.

My gripe (I'm NOT railing, though) is the uneven application of existing rules at upper levels of play, decided not by umps or even by the UIC (as I learned today) but by tournament directors or league officials that apparently know better than those folks that spend many hours working and reworking rules and POEs so that the game is played as fairly as achievable.
