Tagged: We played a game tonight against a team which had misplaced themselves into our D league. They were moved up during the season, and so spotted us 4 runs and brought their new league's rules down to our game. However, nobody informed us ahead of time--so the other team brought legal C league bats and got a free homerun for an over-the-fence hit. What I don't get is why--if they are bumped up a league--do they remain in our brackets and, essentially, penalize us because they underestimated their own talent at the beginning of the season? We joined a league to play...not, necessarily, to win, but to play good games against equally good...or bad...teams. Our team doesn't want 4 "free" runs. That's demeaning. We want to play in a fair league. It seems that the rule to have better teams who have moved up a league mid-season bring the better league's rules down...or to make us play "up" to their skills and rules is unfair. The teams which misplace their own skill level should be charged a fee and moved up into another league. Our team came within 2 runs of beating them (or 6 if you subtract the 4 gimmes), but staying on the field through their hitting sprees wasn't worth the 4 points we got. It is simply frustrating.

Reply: Home run rules not right
Submitted by Tribe33 on July 11, 2008 - 10:46am.Sir - During the season the association has reclassification meetings to determine what teams are moved up or down depending on there performance and to keep the leagues even. If a team get's voted up by the association during the season they stay in the same league and spot the other teams 4 runs. They will play league in the same schedule but during tournaments they will be in their respected Level. This is due to the fact that schedules are set and field's are deticated. BTW...when you are spotted the 4 runs you also get their homerun rule as well. Teams are bumped up and down every year. The association works hard to keep the levels as competitive as they can. Now, about the bats comment...all levels can use the same bats. As long as they are ASA certified. Good luck this year and hit em hard.
