Frederick County Babe Ruth League rules require that any player, manager, or coach who is ejected from a game is suspended for the next scheduled game.  Any TBRB player, manager, or coach who is ejected must serve an additional game suspension beyond that required by the league.

The team’s manager is responsible for the conduct of his/her players and families during games, practices, and team activities.  The manager has the authority to give reminders or reprimands, remove players from a game, or ask spectators to leave the facility in the event that their conduct is not appropriate during a game or practice.  

Any instances in which participants violate the code of conduct are to be reported to the TBRB Board.  The Board will investigate and determine the appropriate disciplinary action to be taken.  Possible disciplinary actions include, but are not limited to suspension for one or more games, suspension for the remainder of a season, permanent removal from TBRB, or restitution for damage or loss.
