Playing under 35+ eligibility
Long Island Black Sox play under Long Island MSBL/MABL rules rather than any code of their own. The 35+ bracket is an age floor, and it is the rule that decides which clubs this side actually plays.
Age bracket leagues live or die on eligibility enforcement, and the whole structure depends on clubs being honest about it.
An eligibility rule that decides who Long Island Black Sox can field belongs beside the roster, which is where High Cheese puts it.
