I do both OBR and ASA. Admittedly I am better at ASA than OBR rule sets.. but I do all right IMO.
Look, this is not baseball with a bigger ball. It is different in many many ways. From calls (dead ball/foul ball/time vs "Time") to mechanics (no pointing strikes etc), to rules (Look back rule) to pitching (illegal pitch vs balk). I couldnt just sit here and give you a quick list. Two different games. The first wonderful difference being 1 min/5 pitches.. and enforce it. This isnt a OBR 1 min = 8 pitches, 2 more to throw it down, a couple of scratches and self adjustments, a little gardening of the mound ... in softball 5 means 5 and 1 min means 1 min.. 5 pitches or 1 min.. if they lag, dock pitches (take it down after 3 warm ups).
