sliding at home
Can anyone tell me where to find the rule regarding "no sliding" at home plate. I was called out for sliding into the scoring plate in a tournament last weekend. There was no contact with the catcher and yes I know there was absolutely no reason to slide other than I just couldn't help myself. I would like to know if this a asa rule for seniors or just a local thing.

Sliding is actually slower to get into a bag (the plate) than it is to run through unless you are trying to avoid a tag. Since there are no tags at home, just run through.
