Not FED in Massachusets.
But, I hear it is conimg soon.
Like 2003, probably.
Should I study "rules differences?"

No FED where I live in Rhode Island, either. The only difference is that it'll be a cold day in hell before we'll use FED rules. I think our umpires would strike if the Rhode Island Interscholastic League instituted FED rules. We're quite proud of our tradition, the umpires have a terrific rapport with the coaches, there is no pressing need to change, and we have a sensational training program for new Varsity umpire candidates. Our local rules are adequate to address safety concerns as well.
Just some trivia - besides Massachusetts and Rhode Island, there is only one other state that does not use FED rules for high school baseball. That would be Wyoming. They don't have high school baseball.
