The idea that LBR outs or that outs on a play where the runner fails to maintain contact with a base after a play are cheap outs is just plain wrong. We are all calling our game by the rules that we have and the players need to play by those rules. If I deem that the defense caused the runner to lose contact, I don't call the out but if a player can't keep her hand or foot on a base when she is being contacted by a defensive player with the ball, that is just her problem HHUU. There is nothing cheap about it. I personally think a game without time being called after every play moves along faster because the girls get the ball to the circle to stop play.
BTW I do FP only (for the moment) Will be doing Modified in the fall.
