I forgot about the Philippines.

In the 80's Taiwan won three straight championships and it turned out that they had players that were too old and also had players that didn't live within the boundaries of those Taiwanese teams. Taiwan lost it's little league charter from 1992 until 2003 because of it.

Again, I don't blame the kids, but adults ruin it for all.
