Pennsylvania was another of the "experimental" states that used the DP in 2003 - there were 4 official experimental states (I think they were AZ, IN, MN, & PA). This is a good change as it brings Fed into compliance with ASA (& NCAA) and ASA is the national governing body of softball. For the past several years, ASA has had a rep sitting in on the NCAA & Fed rules committees, Fed has had someone sitting in on the rules committees for ASA & NCAA, and NCAA has had someone sitting in on ASA & Fed rules committees. Word I get is that ASA and NCAA will change their wording to match Fed's - FLEX instead of DP or TENTH PLAYER. It's one less difference amongst the three major sanctioning bodies, so it's a very good thing from my perspective.
