40. FOUL TIP — A foul tip is a batted ball which goes directly from the bat, not higher than the batter’s head, to the catcher’s hand(s) and is legally caught by the catcher.
How a batted ball that goes head high can be considered going directly to the catcher's hands is beyond me but it is what I have to call when I do these games. DSI is the only option for girls wanting to play rec ball in my area. Many of these girls play on high school teams and also do travel ball in ASA, NSA, ISA, AA, PONY, etc. and the different rules can be very confusing to them.

And of course, for those of us who have actually worked Dixie softball before, we know exactly how goofy their rules can be. (You know, the dropping a flag, and all that other stuff.)
