Dave,
Yes, your understanding is correct. I think it was last year that Fed & ASA shared a case play (think it was situation 17 for Fed). The batter who BOO'd hit into a double play and then the BOO was pointed out. In Fed, you get 2 outs for this play. In ASA, you get 3 outs. In an extreme example with ASA, you could get 3 outs on 2 pitches with this situation.
Now I'm the interpreter in my Fed chapter and also in my ASA chapter (and since there's only 1 fast pitch chapter in my ASA district, guess that makes me the district interpreter). But the vast majority of my knowledge is based on ASA - that's what I learned well first. Following the thought process of 'screw the team that screwed up', ASA has the better ruling.
