July 2015 Plays and Clarifications
Glad to see this was updated...
Based on the intent of the new rule and combined with the current rules governing players and substitutes, we have revised the way the batting of up to all roster players in Junior Olympic Fast Pitch Pool Play will be handled. The following are the main components of properly using this rule:
STARTING LINE-UP:
A. The first nine players listed will have their number and defensive position listed on the line-up card with the exception of the DP (if used), who will just be listed as "DP". (i.e. Steve Roscia, #12 LF)
B. Those who will be listed next will be listed as "EP" (Extra Player), and will be governed by the Extra Player Rule. (Rule 4, Section 4 A-D). They will hit and will be eligible to play defense. Note* "Any nine can play defense when not using a flex or have dropped down from using a flex" and any eight can play defense when using a flex.
