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

Wow. Holy schitt was I Lis-dexic when I wrote that.
I meant to type, "I didn't think softball had an International Tie Breaker rule."
I guess that's what I get for typing faster than my head was thinking.
But yes... my point was, there's no such thing as "ITB". Even in ISF, it's called the "tie breaker rule."
