Overhere we used to be easy as well in this matter. However since our batters have been sent back to their own circle in ESF and ISF tournaments, we (the ump's) are more strickt in enforcing this rule.
Whenever a lady is at bat, the on deck is in the circle and a pitcher change is coming, I sent the on deck batter back into the dug-out and the batter into the circle. The pitcher can now have the 5 warm-up pitches without an opponent watching her close-by...
Early May I had a game in Amsterdam, the home team sent two sub.'s behind the backstop, while they're at bat. These young ladies we're directed back into the dug-out aswell. If they want to spy on the pitchers, they can visit a game where they're not involved. And they will figure out my zone when they're at bat...The players are in the dug-out when they must be there, can only come out when suposed to be on the field!
