HR for Major SP is now twelve (12)

Men's Senior play now uses the ITB after 7 complete innings

16" SP now permits a pick-off play after a legal or illegal pitch

Women's Open and Co-ed Major divisions need not run the bases on an out of the park home run

Concerning SP stealing: Delete 8.4.G 1 & 2. Replace with:

The ball remains alive until the pitcher has possession of the ball in the infield and all play is over. Runners not advancing return to the last base legally touched.

This allows for any runner to advance prior to the pitcher receiving the ball in the infield.

Womens Open SP Division will now allow stealing

Change in obstruction ruling: An obstructed runner who attains the base to which they were protected will be in jeopardy should they leave that base when a subsequents play is made on another runner.

In FP & SP where stealing is allowed, a pitched ball which passes through or lodges in the fence will be a dead ball and all runners are awarded one base from the time of the pitch. The BR will only be awarded 1st base if ball four
