Usually you split it into two divisions with four in each division. Each team plays the other seven teams once or twice (that's good for 7 or 14 weeks) then you start a playoffs. 1st plays 4th, 2nd plays 3rd in both divisions. Then you have a divisional final and then a championship final. You should have consolation rounds as well for the teams that lose out in the first round of the playoffs.

Most of the time when you start out playing 9 holes two or 3 times.  Then your numbered and play other team member in a match one playver vs one player .

There are 4 teams in each group to start off.  They all play one another.  Top two teams move on.  Then, the remaining teams play in a bracket-style tournament, which is single-elimination.

Each team consists of 11 players.\nUnderhand bowling is not allowed.\nBowlers must also keep their arms straight at the time of delivering the ball.\nThe team that wins the toss decides to bat of field.\nTo win a test match one team must score more than its opposition in two full innings, for each team.\nA one-day match is normally played for 50 overs each side.

Your assumption is partially correct.  Each team plays:\n\n6 games in their respective division\n\n4 games against another division in their conference (NFC, AFC)\n\n4 games against a division in the other conference\n\n2 games against teams with similar records from the previous season (random teams year to year) \n\nAnd the 4 out of division and out of conference games (total 8) rotate from division to division each year...so you only play those teams every 4 seasons

www.pony.org has softball rules that are used in Pony leagues.  I am sure that little league softball has a website somewhere too, I just don't know it!

The only feasible ways to do it are having the #4 and #5 team play in a preliminary round while #1, #2, and #3 all get byes.\n\nThen, #1 would face the winner of #4/5 and #2 would face #3 in the semifinals.\n\nOr, #2 would face #5 and #3 would face #4 in the first round, and the winners of #2/5 and #3/4 would face each other in the semifinals, all while #1 gets a bye straight through to the finals.\n\nThe first option is more equitable.

Girls should be allowed to do anything that guys can do.  But I think that splitting them up in two leagues would be best.  it is like the PGA and LPGA.  There will be a couple of girls thaat can beat the men, but for the most part it would be a little unfair.

It depends how many people are in your league. If there are 12, then that's a great team! If there were 8, it's a pretty good team. If there were only 6, your team needs help!

Round robin means everyone plays everyone else. So, each of the 10 players has 9 opponents. That means there are nine rounds of 5 games each or 45 games. Since each game can have at the most one victory, 45 is the maximum with no ties.\n\nYou can check this by noting that 45 wins and 45 losses equals 90 results. 10 players playing 9 games each would give 10 x 9 = 90 results (either a win or a loss or a tie).

Not a bad idea as far as schedule balance, but I really don't like the idea of 3-team divisions.  Maybe you could enhance the size of the divisions without giving up the weighted schedule as you currently have it.  Otherwise, I just think the standings will look odd, and not rewarding the division winners in any way will make the divisions almost meaningless.  \n\nBetter to lump more teams together, but keep the "unofficial" groupings that you've created when it comes to scheduling.  That would allow you, if needed, to just have conference standings that reflect the playoff standings clearly.
