The post above is about DIXIE BOYS!!! Ages 13-18

Dixie Boys baseball is based upon OBR rules.

It has a few minor changes but nothing major.

Dixie Boys pitching rules are listed in the rules book rule 8, but there is nothing about balks. It is all information for the coaches.

Now Dixie Youth has many many changes, but they are all listed on their website and in their rulebooks.

The only specialty rules that Dixie Boys use is malicious contact and obstruction (where they pretty much follow FED)

There are also some differences for 13-14 (still youngsters) and the Dixie Pre-Major and Majors which is 15-16, and 17-18 (kids that shave regularly)

The penalties for balk are same as OBR.

Thanks

David: I'm seriously confused. mcrodwer quotes a series of rules from dixie.org, where there's NO PENALTY for a balk.

Comment 1: You say: "This is not Dixie Youth!"

Comment 2: You say: "The post above is about Dixie Boys!!!"

Comment 3: You say: "The only specialty rules that Dixie Boys use is malicious contact and obstruction (where they pretty much follow FED)."

If you're right, mcrowder 's rules, downloaded from dixie.org don't apply to Dixie Youth or Dixie Boys.

What up, Baby?

I think I confused the issue also.

I was responding to mcrodwer that the rules he posted from the web site were for Dixie Youth which is 12-u. (not up to age 18 as he suggested)

The balk that we were talking about was the comments from the coach Willsun.

He was asking about specifically Dixie Boys in his post...

So I was trying to clear the water and separate the two.

Dixie Youth has no penalty for balks, its a don't do that and start over.

Dixie Boys follows OBR as far as balks.

Now hopefully that is a little more clear.

Thanks
