Reporting of Code Violations.Any parent, volunteer, or player may (and should) report any code violation to the League. All such reports should be made in writing to the Disciplinary Committee (playball@nmbll.org) within 24 hours of the offense. The umpire MUST report to the League President within 24 hours of the end of a game all violations of rules and other incidents worthy of comment, including but not limited to the disqualification of any manager, coach, or player, and the reasons therefor. Within 24 hours of receiving notice of any code violation by a player, or within 48 hours of receiving notice of any code violation by a parent or volunteer, the Committee must determine how to dispose of that violation, as set forth below. Disposition of Code Violations.Non-ejection offenses by players shall be referred in most cases to the team Manager for disposition, although the Disciplinary Committee retains the discretion to address the violation itself. Non-ejection parent and other adult offenses shall be referred to the Vice President of the involved division for disposition, although the Committee retains the discretion to address the violation itself. Violations which resulted in game ejection shall be dealt with in accordance with Little League Rule 9.05(c): "After receiving the umpire's report that a manager coach, or player has been disqualified, the league president shall require such manager, coach, or player to appear before the Committee to explain their conduct. In the case of a player, the manager shall appear with the player in the capacity of an advisor. The Committee shall impose such penalty as they determine to be justified, but in no event shall the punishment be less than that required by Rule 4.07 (one game suspension in addition to the game from which the player or coach was ejected)." Progressive Discipline. The league requires strict adherence to its Codes of Conduct. Violations will be punished severely and progressively. The following range will be utilized in imposing discipline. Non-ejection offenses. First offense: from warning to 1 game suspension; second offense: from 1 game to 3 game suspension; third offense: from 3 game suspension to ejection from the league for the remainder of the season. Ejection offenses: First offense: from 1 game to 3 game suspension; second offense: from 3 game suspension to ejection from the league for the remainder of the season; third offense: Ejection from the league for the remainder of the season. All-star and tournament team eligibility. No player, coach, or manager who is ejected from a game more than one time in a season, or more than twice in their career in the NMBLL, shall be eligible for All-Stars or tournament teams that season. Appeals. Any person may appeal the decision of the Committee by submitting the appeal in writing to the League for review.
