4-21-10:  New rules for 2010:

The no profanity rule will be used by the league.  Use of profanity will result in an out called as a delayed dead ball out.  

bullet

E.g. Bases Load with 1 out and the batter hits a 1 hopper to the pitcher.  Pitcher throws to first to get the batter out then the batter screams the f-word.  Batter is out
 (2nd out of inning) by result of the play and then the team is awarded and out for the swearing (3rd out of the inning).  Then all runners will go back to there
 base prior to the play; resulting in zero runs scored and inning is over.

Profanity out WILL carry over to the next inning.

Throwing the Bat is an delayed automatic out.  1st Offense is only an out, 2nd offense by player is an out, ejection and 6 game suspension, 3rd offense is an out, ejection
and a 1 years suspension from date of the occurrence.

Scenario;  Bases loaded and batter hits one hopper to pitcher, on way to first bases throws bat against the fence.  Pitcher over throws the 1st baseman and batter
 runner ends up on second base.  Umpire's call will be batter runner out for swearing and dead ball; all base runner return back to base occupied prior to the play. 
Zero Runs scored.

Throwing the bat out WILL carry over to the next inning.
