Baseball Rules
The league is governed by the Glen Allen Youth Athletic Association Board of Directors, which assigns a league commissioner to act on its behalf. The league commissioner is responsible for assuring that all league activities coincide with the mission and goals of the Glen Allen Youth Athletic Association, the operating rules of the league, and the policies and standards established by the Board of Directors. I. Playing Rules All Official Baseball Rules will be observed except for those rules amended by Babe Ruth Baseball, but finally subject to the specific rules imposed by the Glen Allen Youth Athletic Association Board of Directors. 1. Protests Any formal protest must be filed in writing, and delivered in person to a League Commissioner, preferably of that League within 24 hours of the event, to the League Commissioner. A $40.00 fee must accompany all formal protests. The fee will be returned if the protest is upheld. The protest will be adjudicated by the Grievance/Protest Committee, which is comprised of the Glen Allen Youth Athletic Association President, the Director of Baseball, the League Commissioner, the Chairman of the Policies and Procedures Committee, and the Chief of Umpires. 2. Ejections Manager/Coach – Any manager or coach ejected from a ball game by the umpire is required to leave the immediate vicinity of the field on which the game is being played and can be no closer than across the street from the main entrance of the ball field complex. A first ejection results in the ejected manager or coach being automatically suspended from participation in the next scheduled game and from all practices held between the time of the ejection and the next scheduled game. The ejection shall be reviewed by the League Commissioner, Commissioner of Umpires and the Director of Baseball. If upon review by the three aforementioned persons, it is found that the behavior resulting in the ejection is so serious to warrant a greater penalty, the ejected manager or coach may be suspended from managing or coaching the team for the remaining portion of the baseball season and also disqualified from participation as a manager or coach of a tournament all star team. If the same manager or coach is ejected a second time by an umpire, then that manager or coach will be automatically suspended for the remainder of the baseball season and automatically disqualified to participate as a manager or coach of a district all star team. Player – Any player ejected from a game may be suspended from participating in future games, if in the judgment of League Officials and/or the Board of Directors an additional penalty is justified.
