Interpretation of "Regular Season Uniform" Rule for Tournament Play
LL Rulebook under Tournament Organization / Playing Equipment says:
>Every member of the team must wear a conventional uniform which includes shirt, pants, socks, and cap. This may be a regular season uniform.
One league in our district spends pretty big on their regular season uniforms, and their dads love them. So they cite this rule and have their 12 kids show up for tournament play wearing four or five different uniforms, depending on which regular-season team the players were on. So the pitcher has on a Dodgers jersey, the catcher has a Rangers jersey, etc.
My interpretation of the above rule is that it's intended to allow smaller leagues with one regular season team to not have to create two sets of uniforms for exactly the same kids.
If the kids are wearing different things on a field, that's not a uniform, right? Just an outfit?
I'm not about to protest a game or anything over this kind of thing, but it's bugged me since they started doing this a couple years ago, and our district folks don't seem to care, evidently. AIO? (Probably)
