My own rules

South East defeated USA Development XI in the final of the 2014 USACA T20 Championship by four runs in controversial circumstances after being awarded five penalty runs. According to the live update feed on USACA's official Facebook page, USA Development XI won the game taking the winning single off the final delivery of the match, but about 40 minutes later it replaced that announcement with: "UPDATE: The USA Development team was penalized 5 runs for a batsman obstructing the fielder. The 2015 USACA National T20 Champion is the South East Region!"   
At around 6 am on Monday, about 11 hours after the final ended, USACA's Facebook page was edited to delete the reference to "obstructing the fielder", and was replaced with an explanation that the penalty runs were awarded for "a running-on-the-pitch infraction". 
... This is not the first instance in which South East has won a USACA tournament match in strange circumstances due to being awarded penalty runs. At the 2009 USACA Eastern Conference tournament in Washington, DC, South East needed 200 to beat a USACA Directors XI team, and lost their last recognised batsman for 50, at the team score of 198 for 8. A few moments later, all players began walking off the field, and it was later announced that South East had been awarded five penalty runs by the umpires after one of them claimed that the USACA Directors XI wicketkeeper Carl Monroe "used obscene language". Monroe's coach claimed Monroe was cursing himself for a missed stumping earlier against the same batsman.

All Elizabeth Sedway wanted was to leave paradise and head home. But she couldn't. Why? Because, according to her, she has cancer. 
That's what she said in a video posted to Facebook that shows her group packing up from their Alaska Airlines plane as it sat at the gate in Hawaii. 
"Your taking me off the airplane because I don't have a doctor's note saying I can fly," a woman is heard saying. "All these people are waiting, and I'm being removed as if I'm a criminal or contagious, because I have cancer and no note to fly."
