Modified FED rules, and this is one of the modifications. The USSSA rules do not permit the batter to "swing" during a squeeze or steal of home.

That rule is in effect for the tournament. (

Carl,
I'm confused. Are you saying that is a rule for your tournament, or a USSSA rule?
(I do a lot of USSSA, just finished a 14 & 18 tournament yesterday, and am not aware of that rule. I didn't see it in a quick look at the Utrip rules on line either. I do understand that state directors can make minor modifications for tournaments in their states.

It's a local modification of USSSA rules used for League play, one the coaches voted to keep for their tournament. Remember, we used mostly NFHS rules -- and you won't find that in the USSSA book either. (grin)
