When you work those games, use those rules, or don't work them! I work FED, ASA, USSSA, and a lot of other alphabet rulesets. I try to use them to the best of my ability as they are writen, not as I choose. I study those rulesets every day so that I know the different ones and know which ones to apply when I "put on the shirt". Since I don't work LL in my area anymore, I stopped taking the certification test every year and I am not up on the current ruleset for them, but for the rest, i look on it as a challenge to be current. |
Chill Charlie.
The FED Umpire Manual is NOT the rule set...it is their mechanics book.
Our association has replaced Fed mechanics with CCA mechanics.
