Hold on a minute. You guys don't know the whole story. Because of some recent unfortunate incidents, the YSISF has instituted a tough new rule. Anyone beheading an umpire is automatically suspended for 2 weeks. A second offense and the beheader is out for the season, with 20 lashes.

I won't say that umpiring the YSISF doesn't entail some risk, but most of the guys I know figure the benefits are worth it. After all, you do get paid in virgins.

And there's a big difference in the way they call obstruction. From ASA-YSISF rules differences:

ﯼﯠﮮﮦﺭﺤﺲﻬﻕﻓﻼﻴﻰﻓﻆףاتخءٮٯשەۜ۔ۀڭسװזء٩ٲٰڏٿ

I have some YSISF shirts and hats if anyone is interested.

CAPSA rules are actually pretty close to ASA's. Closer than Fed's, for example. The main difference is in the strike zone. Plus, the fences are shorter.
