Discussion: Verbal Obstruction or Interference

Additional info to support BJ and Grumpy, umpires and others. Sometimes ASA rules become the guidelines when specific rules fall short. Below are some rules specific to this play:

ASA Rule Supplement or Point of Emphasis
33: Interference is defined as the act of an offensive player or team member which impedes, hinders or causes a defensive player attempting to execute a play. It may be in the form of physical contact, verbal distraction or any type of distraction which would hinder the fielder in the execution of the play.

Discussion: Foot placement in batter's box before pitch

I disagree with Mad Dog. ASA rules are same as SSUSA. See ASA rule 7.3.A. .. no part of the foot can be completely outside the lines prior to pitch. Same for hitting the pitch as discussed in ASA rule 7.6.D

Discussion: border battle

Seniors in 2013 can use senior bats in ASA Senior Championship Play. This is a new ASA rule 3 section 1(exception) beginning in 2013. Local ASA tournaments may allow these bats for seniors.

Discussion: ssusa & umpires, u make the call

I see one posted answer is batter is out and another said sub player is out and ejected. Per rule 7.1 (effect 2) it appears the player who should have batted is out (not the player who hit)and the hit is nullified. The next batter is the one who follows the batter who should have batted. Per 4.7 it looks like an illegal substitution properly appealed and the player would be ejected. Perhaps SSUSA can provide a teaching experience on this one.
