Right, we are saying the same thing. I was addressing some of the others that seem to have ignored your post.

It also seems that you are a bit higher level than HS ball. I just felt that it was necessary to add that in FED, the pitching restrictions (taking signs is one of them) are not in effect until F1 intentionally contacts the rubber. Therefore, the balk penalty for the FED 6-1-1 (FED rule 6-1-1 - He shall take his sign from the catcher with his pivot foot in contact with the pitcher's plate.) is kind of a mute point. How do you penalize F1 for something when he is not restricted yet? It's just another FED mess that has never been straightened out.

Regards
