( Game times ) some tournaments are ( 1 hour ) to ( 1:45 ) for 9's and 10's
( Run rule ) most coach pitch games are mathematical and some USSSA (15) after 3 innings and (8) after (4) BPA. (12) after 3 innings and 10 after (4) If a team can only score (7) per inning a run rule is out of place
If your playing 9 & 10 under are the base paths 65' ? Some tournaments are playing 60' base paths for 9's &"10's How could you throw out runners. It's taking a step backwards in 9's & 10's
Make sure you check out these three main rules before you enter a tournament Or check out the current tournament you are entered into now.
Good points watching, but I might add to also check the pitching limits imposed as it changes too........typically, each organization will be consistent tourney to tourney. Being in AA/AAA class, we play alot of USSSA and Grandslam events......I know a lot of folks dont play USSSA but we like them(Mostly) and we know what to expect; even if its a few thing we dont like
It seems to get even more confusing when you are at ages 13-14 as bat rules & base distances can really be different.....looking forward to next years confusion
Coaches need to check on the time limits for the tournaments Seeing 9-u & 10-u playing (1:10 ) time limits And base paths at 60' ? Must have to keep foot on base until ball passes home plate ? If not everybody's running wild on the bases with no chance to throw out a runner ? (1:10) time limit gets 3-4 innings played per game. ( giving up 2-3 innings ) Turbo tournament
While we are at it, can we get the umps to know what time the game is scheduled to start
Umpires aren't supposed to wear a watch.

Never did understand why the game does not start when the first pitch is thrown. Then everyone knows.
Teams that lollygag around is why. There are some that start with the first warm up pitch, or the first pitch, but the vast majority start the clock at the conclusion of the plate meeting. Have your players ready.
