Two leagues in the 10U (Angels) division incorporate a rule stating "after four walks in an inning, no additional batters can earn a base on balls". It can make for extremely boring games. I like to interject humor by announcing the count 15 balls and 1 strike.
One league in the 12U (Ponytails) division will not allow runners to score on pass balls or steal more than one base per pitch.
One league in the 6U (Sweeties) division will not allow the pitcher to tag the B/R between home and 1st.
Do you have any better ones than those to share?

Geez, alabamabluezebra, I sure hope your state commissioner doesn't get wind of this. There were several local leagues here in Texas that were doing a lot of juking with the rules themselves, and Obie hissownbadself circulated a letter to the District and State Reps stating that the only local league options that are allowed are the ones that are mentioned in the rulebook. This was probably about 7 years ago or so.
