There is a rule in these local rules that says the outfielders must at least be 20' behind the infielders.

I'm wondering about the reasoning behind these kinds of rules.

What problem(s) are they trying to solve?
Dummying down the game for the women.

No, I'm not saying the women are dumb, but in non-competitive situations they want the women to NOT be squeezed by overzealous competitors.
