I will NOT officiate a league that has a "must slide rule" because of the above mentioned reasons.
The gentleman that got me into officiating changed our local softball & baseball league's slide rules. That was in the early 90's. We've on occasion had to remind a league board that there is a "sliding rule" in the books.
