Speaking ASA J.O. girls fastpitch...
The restriction of the ODB to the circle on the same side as her bench, assuming it is for the reason of avoiding opponents bench harrassment, is not necessary most of the time, and when the harassment occurs, there are ample tools in the USC area for the umpire to deal with it.
A local rule allowing the ODB to use either circle is very common, and IMO, ASA should officially allow it for JO play.
