Point 1. This is an umpire's board where many umpires come to share and discuss rules, plays, situations and training among other subjects.

Point 2. No one on this board has a problem helping out others, but we are not here for your convenience. You do not pay us to be here. We get no additional perks or benefits from anyone for being here and sharing our experience and knowledge.

Point 3. You asked a question, a simple question. You were given the answer. The fact that you didn't care for it is an issue you can deal with in the mirror. It is the correct answer and I simply followed up Steve's reply in a humorous manner. Do you even know what "one of forty-two" means? BTW, Steve probably knows more about softball, the game and rules, than most ,if not all, of the people you know combined.

Point 4. Just because your league or whatever uses ASA rules, it doesn't mean that they cannot invoke Rule 12 and modify said rules in any manner they wish to accommodate their teams.

Final point. You can come on this board and learn, or not. That is your option. However, even though we all have options, there is no requirement to kowtow to you or anyone else.

JMHO
