What is the purpose of the Tiebreaker Rule? (Hint: it is in the name.)
How is that purpose served by starting the inning with 1 out?
The TD was correct. The "start with 1 out" is nonsense in every sense of the word.
BTW, speaking ASA, it is a real rule. 5-11.
BTW#2, speaking ASA again, the title of the rule is "
TIE-BREAKER RULE" (no "International"). Maybe ASA inherited the rule from ISF, I dunno.
