Took four fricking paragraphs (along with having to scroll past several different ads and an embedded twitter link) of that article to get to why they were DQ’d. I swear journalism is dead.


seems like their strategy was a success!

Challenger division - This is a special needs division within Little League that allows kids to practice and play the great game, often with 'buddies' that help them as needed. It is an incredible division and several rec leagues in South La have this division or similar, and it's an absolute blast to work with these organizations and see these kids get to be kids.


I'm confused why this would apply? Are you suggesting that the Tulsa team allowed a kid to play for a different divisional team in Oklahoma because he "volunteered" with the special needs kids?

Still is. Although I'm not sure how it works. I'll often time look back and scores are changed. leave the game and it was 5-4 and wake up the next day to check next weeks game time and its 6-4

I'm reading the article and the accusations. The Challenger division and sibling are brought up for one of two reasons. Either they claimed a player was a buddy in their program to make him eligible, or they claimed because their sibling was in the challenger program that he was eligible. The issue is they apparently don't have a challenger program, or at least not beyond a name.

Could be different schools. Player can be eligible based on the school they attend being in that LL program's geographic boundaries.

I'm guessing that the kid whose eligibility was questioned lives and attends school outside of Tulsa Little League's geographic boundaries. But they have a special needs sibling who attends a school that is within the Tulsa LL boundaries. So they tried using the challenger rule to claim eligibility for the kid in question, despite not actually fielding a challenger program team.

Considering Tulsa's baseball & softball teams were both DQed for eligibility reasons... when do we hit Tulsa National for lack of institutional control & give it the death penalty?


They death penalty a league in Michigan after cheating maybe a decade ago so it might be coming

Possible

Or…

1) let’s say east bank LL gas a challenger division but GNO LL (greater New Orleans) does not. Kid who is a challenger kid living in GNO territory thus is allowed to play challenger in East Bank. His siblings are then allowed to also play for east bank

2) kids live in GNO area. One sibling goes to Curtis (in EB area) and other goes to Baby Ben which is in GNO. Since the kid that goes to Curtis can play for EB (since you need to love it attend school in the district) the kid who goes to Baby Ben can also play for EB
