I wasn't trying to imply there was a rulebook titled
Official Rules of Fastpitch (OFR, in the baseball tradition of rulebook acronyms
). It was shorthand, since I think you would be hard pressed to find more than a couple of pages in the entire 20 or so pages of rule 8 of the
Official Rules of Softball that do not contain the qualifiers (Fast Pitch Only) or (Slow Pitch Only) or (Co-ed only) or ... etc..[/B][/QUOTE]
Like I said, it was MY pet peeve. Too many folks believe that FASTPITCH is the only game of softball in town. There are even umpires that don't believe anything other than FP is softball.
BTW, approximately 85% of the ASA rules apply to all levels and types of the game played.
Lighten up yourself d:-)
