71.123.5.253
Just a question about rule #29, does anyone know of any other Msbl/Mabl with such a rule? I played in two leagues (Ctbl/Ambl) this year and was suspended two games before the playoffs. What is the legal ramification, I did nothing wrong ejections etc just love to play ball.
29. COMPETING LEAGUE RULE
No AMBL player shall play or participate in any way in any other adult baseball league or tournament which is not MSBL/MABL affiliated at any time without permission from the PRESIDENT of AMBL. The penalty for such violation is possible suspension from AMBL membership.
30. BOARD MEMBER INDEPENDENCE RULE
No more than 2 AMBL Board Members shall play on the same AMBL team.
31.RULE HIERARCHY
Division rules shall not supersede any Austin Metro Baseball League (AMBL) Rule or the AMBL League President’s authority to administer the league.
32. PLAYOFF GAME CONTINUATION RULE
Any playoff game that is discontinued for any reason and it is determined by the League president to be necessary and can be scheduled, shall resume play in the same inning with the same game situation at the moment of discontinuation. All rules regarding substitutions apply as if it was the same game (e.g. players removed from the batting lineup may not be reinserted, ejected players are still ejected for this game and pitchers removed from pitching may not be allowed to throw in the same inning they were removed.)
33. PLAYER INDEBTEDNESS RULE
Any player owing money to any AMBL member or past member, shall not be allowed to play in the AMBL if the League President is notified and believes there to be sufficient proof of indebtedness and the amount is material.
34. MONEY COLLECTION RULE
Any team owing league dues, fines or penalties, because of a returned check , shall have until the end of the second business day (5 P.M. local time) starting the day after notification and acknowledgement , to present to the League Treasurer a money order, cashiers check or other form of guaranteed payment written on a reputable 3rd party institution for the total amount of dues and all penalties and fines specified. If payment has not been paid by the end of this 2 business day period then the team forfeits every scheduled game until payment is received and if no games have been played then they forfeit their next game. All individuals that give or have given non-valid checks to the AMBL must make payment in the above mentioned guaranteed forms of payment and the Treasurer shall keep a list of these members.
35. BASE COACH PROTECTIVE GEAR
All base coaches are required to wear a protective helmet at all times. Skull caps are an acceptable substitution.
