    How old? I know the T-ball league here doesn't keep score. I get it at first, but after a certain age I don't understand.

    I can understand the participation appreciation to an extent, but when you're talking about undefeated teams and playoff, then tell me winning to make the playoffs is against what the league is for, you are sending a contradictory message and in doing so, look like a buffoon and make muppet angry.

    What do they think kids who lose games are going to do? Jump in the river with depression? There are some absolute t*ts in powerful jobs in sport who are wrecking the future..

    Part of any team sport is defending or chasing a lead. How can that be learnt with non competitive bull****?

    Agreed. There are plenty of rules in place in my daughter's softball league to keep leads from getting out of hand. For instance, you can only score 5 runs per inning, you can steal bases but you can't steal home, up by 15 runs after the 4th and mercy rule kicks in, etc....
