There was an issue on how bathroom breaks are handled in the Pinto Division when the player who is up to bat is still in the restroom. If that player is not on the field in time for his / her at bat then they are called out.
From page 17 of the GGPB Rules
25. Bathroom breaks: If a defensive player leaves the field of play to use the bathroom, that player shall be replaced until he or she returns. If any batter due up to bat is not available to bat for any reason, that batter shall be called out. Managers may NOT bat around any player who has left the field or dugout for any reason.
Rules will be updated and posted as decisions are made and changes documented.
Any questions with regard to the rules or any changes of the rules should be directed to the GGPB Rules Coordinator or President.
Provided here is a copy of the rules in Adobe format.
Rules Updated: 03/10
The 03/10 Update reflects changes to the Pinto Must-Play rules to accommodate the number of added players on the rosters...
Pinto: UPDATED 3/1/10 Due to the number of players on each Pinto Team, the rules are amended as follows...Players shall not sit on the bench for two consecutive innings in any game. They must be rotated onto the field at least every other inning. Every player will play at least one full game every third game. In those full games, the player must play at least two (2) innings of infield while playing all innings defensively during the game.

In any organization, especially youth sports, it's important that everyone holds themselves to a high standard of conduct that represents the league, themselves, and their children with integrity and good sportsmanship. With every interaction, we are continuously shaping our youth's perception of the world and what should be considered appropriate behavior.
For that reason, it's important that everyone is accountable for their behavior and maintains a positive demeanor in the interest of good sportsmanship, fair play, and projecting the right influence on our youth by demonstrating actions and behaviors consistent with being positive role models.
