Also from Spysoftball...
If, in the umpires judgment, an injured player requires immediate attention, the umpire shall declare Dead Ball, and allow to seek aid. The umpire will also award bases that would have been reached.
How do you guys think you will deal with this rule?
Call a dead ball on all "injuries?" Actually try to "judge" the ones that require "immediate attention?" How? I'm no doctor!
"...would have been reached..." ?? In what event? No injury? Minor injury with no dead ball? F7 actually makes the catch instead of colliding with F8?
OK - I'm overreacting, but it seems like a can-o-worms to me.
Hopefully when ASA publishes their new book, things will be clarified.
