Local Yokel Rules

[MD Longhorn]

You know... other than local time limits and rules around weird field situations... I don't get why it has become the default around the country that a league HAS to insert their 2 cents. Whoever you've joined (ASA, U-Trip, NSA, LL, whatever) has had YEARS to put together what is hopefully a solid set of rules. In ALMOST every case, the local rule causes problems at some point. The default should be to simply use the rules of your organization. Period. Heck ... half of your stupid local rules documents simply repeat a rule that's otherwise already in the book ... and likely word it more poorly than the original rule does.
