| March 27, 2016 HJ Men's 70 481 posts | Mask On Field Our league has been encouraging fielders to get Face Masks. A number of guys have purchased Rip Its and Champros. 1 guy posed the question what happens if a fielder has a senior moment, takes his mask off during a play a drops it in the base line which causes a runner to fall or have to change course and run around. 1. Do the current rules of SSUSA cover this? If yes, what is the rule? 2. Should a rec league adopt a special rule for this or are existing rules good enough. Thank You. |

| March 28, 2016 B.J. 1105 posts | since this is a local league I would write up a specific rule covering this if you seem to have a problem...also since the penalty is on the defense it would be obstruction not interference |
