I have no disagreements with your items #1 or #2. (I don't do ASA and haven't looked at an ASA rule book since 1994. I was sure the wording for ASA would be similar to FED, but I am surprised to hear the wording is
exactly the same. I wonder who has the copyright and who has plagerized.)
Concerning your item #3 and as I mentioned in my original post:
"In FED, there was a rule wording change last year that states the batter runner may stop once. Some interpret this to mean that they can stop once anywhere along the path before deciding to return to first, e.g. she could be three inches from second, stop and decide she wanted to return to first. My belief is that this interpretation is incorrect and that the stop must occur within a step or two of first base. I would not be surprised if there is a clarification of this in the next rule and/or case book."
If you have heard of a clarification coming out, it would be great to know where that could be found.
