Steve,

Yes, the ruling for missing 1B is the same as ASA -
BR assumed to have touched it and can be called out
on proper appeal before returning.

In AFA at this time, we just using the double base
as one big base. Probably in near future we will go
with the ASA ruling all the way.

You know, now that you mentioned it, I have not seen
a team from Pa. in any of the AFA tournaments. I have
done five Nats. four 18U and 1 16U and dont recall
seeing a Pa. team. Will look in my old program books
and see.
