Sorry, I am not familiar with FED rules... and never even heard of them before coming to this board.
Here.... High School rules = OBR

No problem, I kind of figured that. I just wanted to make everyone aware that there really is a stupid balk rule for this - it's just in another rule book.
|
I think the PENALTY is referring to the shoulder turn, prohibited by 6-1-1, since 6-1-1 also says the pitching regulations begin when the pitcher steps on the rubber. I can't find a case book play on this.
|
The shoulder turn is no longer a balk in FED, with the recent changes. And I can't imagine anyone not making THAT change immediately.
|
I think the rule change is for 2005. Anyone playing FED now, is still under the current rule.
|
I agree with you there Rich. Go ahead and make the change. Its summer ball now and none of the coaches know the rule anyway.
That's a no brainer.
Thanks
David
