I'm not sure what point you are making. International softball originated the tiebreaker rule, most often called the ITB, standing for International Tie Breaker. Unfortunately, that is only accurate in international softball; in every other case, it is simply the tiebreaker rule of whatever organization has that rule (which most often is modeled after the ITB); ie the ASA tiebreaker rule, the NCAA tiebreaker rule, etc.

As is true in ASA, the tiebreaker rule is generally not in effect in adult play; it is used in youth/JO/junior softball.
