ksdad,

Not really a whole lot, but some noteable differences.

If batter keeps the bat over the plate and does not withdraw on a bunt attempt,
the pitch regardless of where it is, will be called a strike. Batter must withdraw
bat.

We don't worry about jewerly, use same rules as NCAA. Must be considered dangerous
in the umpires judgement.

Up until this year, we did not call IP's. (Don't know if there is a change to that now
or not. (Will know this weekend. Doing the Texas AFA State tournament.)

AFA Changed to the "No ball + blocking base + impeding progress of runner is OBS, No
longer about to receive the ball.

Runner Interference, contact is necessary. Of course the runner may not at any time, unnecessarily
wave her arms or verbally distract the fielder.

Hope this helps.
