  "account": "Little League International is seeking to dissolve a restraining order that had allowed the Tulsa National Little League team, previously disqualified, to compete in the Little League World Series. The controversy arose when it was discovered that a player on the Tulsa team, O.G., did not meet eligibility requirements. O.G's father had incorrectly registered his sibling's birth year for an adaptive baseball program. The Tulsa team was granted a temporary restraining order on August 11, allowing them to compete for a spot in the Little League Baseball World Series. However, Little League International filed an emergency motion arguing that compliance with the restraining order was impossible, as four families from the Texas West team had already departed Waco, leaving them without enough players to field a team. The Texas West team, which had already been crowned Southwest Region Champions, was expected to depart for Williamsport, Pennsylvania for the Little League World Series on August 14.",
  "summary": "The Tulsa team was disqualified from the Little League Baseball Southwest Region tournament but awarded a temporary restraining order in court.",
