Well, actually ASA does define infielder and outfielder for the purpose of the Co-ed game. There must be two male and two female in each area.
While there is no distance requirements, they must still meet the qualifications set forth in Rule 1. The only time this would come into an issue is if the umpire judges that one of the outfielders is now covering part of the field normally covered by an infielder in that particular game situation. IOW, the umpire should be able to tell which players are outfielders and which are infielders.
