Yeah, like in baseball they all go R1, R2 and stuff and like you dudes all go R1 on 3rd and stuff, and like, dude!
Here's the deal - I didn't invent the nomenclature for softball... it is what it is. It helps clarity and reduces misunderstanding to use the nomenclature of the sport.
R1, R2, R3 ... between baseball and softball, the runners are in opposite orders. If you are describing a play situation, it helps if those reading the description are actually placing the runners on the bases you intend with your setup.
Here's one: R1, R2, and R3. BR hits a triple. R1 misses home plate, the other runners step on home. R1 has not entered the dugout. Can R1 return to retouch?
Kinda makes a difference which order they were in, doesn't it?
