I take your meaning of third world play in the context that it is given and take no offence .
However you mention where softball is not well known or organised .
3 times mens world champions and women 6th in the Olympics
The highest % per head of ISF umpires in the world awrded by Merle Butler the Umpire in Chief of world ISF softball .
NZ may be small by your standards ( actually by anyones standards ) but it is well run .
Dave,

May I suggest you actually read what I typed. I offered a definition of "third world play", PERIOD!

I did NOT mention or cite any particular continent or country, did I?

I'm well aware of the softball prowess of NZ and your neighbors especially on the men's FP side of the game.
