When you say disabled, it depends if your account was literally disabled or if your ads have stopped running due to low quality score.  The chances of getting a disabled account reinstated without a Google Rep is highly unlikely.

If the affiliate promotion had nothing to do with your money site, then I recommend that you open a new account for your PlayBallAcademy site.  You can easily recreate your old campaign(s) into the new account using Adwords Editor's backup and import features.  Make sure you shut all the campaigns off in the old account so you don't break google policy by having more than one account for a single domain.
Going forward, it is a best practice to run only one site in your adwords account and never mix testing new things like affiliate marketing with your money site – this doesn’t just go for Google but all of your marketing efforts.

I am hoping you may be able to answer this question.  Is there any way I can get my Adwords account reinstated?  They shut me down for an unknowingly bogus advertiser I was promoting while trying to learn the world of affiliate marketing, and that campaign was stopped many months before they slapped me. The problem is that my Adwords account is tied to my main money site and small Internet business of PlayBallAcademy.com.  I spent two years implementing your strategies to optimize my campaigns and overnight all that hard work went into the crapper. I migrated to Yahoo, but my campaign is nowhere near as effective as my Google campaign. Can you throw a fellow teacher a bone and suggest a resolution to my problem. Best Wishes, Steve Rau Co-Founder PlayBallAcademy.com High School Business/IT Teacher Howie,
