(These are the rules that were given to me. As long as the other coach and I agree there may be some changes from game to game. I have had no problems with other coaches trying to get by with anything. It's just hard to be too specific with the rules and even we don't know exactly how to handle certain situations. From what I have heard from other leagues we are lucky to have the sportsmanship we have in our coach pitch league.)
