** If you want to protest, you must immediately notify the umpire PRIOR to the next play and the umpire will get a member of the protest committee to report to the field. At that time a decision will be made if the protest is valid, and if so, the committee will meet and come to a resolution. ALL decisions of the protest committee are final.**

*Absolutely NO FIGHTING – it will NOT be tolerated, and you will be asked to leave the game and/or premises.*
