Three Leagues Protest Tulsa National Baseball Program Over 4 Eligibility Violations

Summary
Three Southwest Region leagues filed a joint protest Sunday seeking an immediate investigation into Tulsa National Little League’s 2026 baseball program and its removal from all postseason play.
The complaint alleges 4 rules violations—covering sibling participation, league eligibility, pitching limits and game completion—and also accuses league officials of fraudulently using the Challenger program to falsify player eligibility.
Tulsa National’s district administrator Mindy Abbott and league president Steve Skocik are named in the filing, which says GameChanger data was altered after an earlier protest in Waco was denied 2 days ago.
Three weeks earlier, Tulsa National’s softball program was disqualified from the regional tournament and forced to forfeit after Little League found player-eligibility documentation was insufficient.
Little League says protests are handled case by case with no set timeline, leaving open penalties ranging from no action to forfeits, disqualification or broader league discipline.
