Are they 100% FED rules or do they use a variation of the FED rules?

For summer ball around here they like to pick and choose between rule sets. Let's use FED for FPSR, DH and we will use OBR for everything else, and maybe throw in a few 'house' rules just to keep things interesting.

Okay, okay. So they're FED rules, with free subs usually, maybe or maybe not to infield fly, a few other things here and there. Leave it up to each league to make things more complicated!

But absolutely FED based.

For the tournaments I was referring to, the rules will say "NFHS with the following exceptions:"

The exceptions usually include more restrictive age rules, time limits in pool play, mercy rules, special procedures to accelerate the outcome of an extra inning game, protest procedures, and in many cases, a requirement for wood bats.

The sort of rules that we normally think of as the "playing rules" are straight NFHS.

I'm thinking a southern state, Mississippi if I'm not mistaken. One of those.

Now that's funny - and true. Travel ball now is so diluted its gotten pathetic and that is in area where the level of HS baseball is really really high quality.

Its just a matter of time when its going to start affecting HS more I think because so many kids will have ruined their arms before they reach high school

Thanks

Actually the answer to the "what states don't use NFHS baseball rules" was always the same:

Massachusetts

and

North Dakota (as they do not play high school baseball at all).

Don't know if that has changed.

So now there are three?

Rhode Island baseball uses NFHS rules.

See also the RIIL site.

When I lived back east, they did not. I just found a link that says that RI transitioned from AL rules to NFHS rules in 2009. So there's only 1 state then that plays HS baseball that doesn't use NFHS rules now, I think.

And Tee, ND *does* play HS baseball. It's Montana that does not (they play Legion).

I just read an old thread from a website that said it was Virginia, South Carolina, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts as of 2003, according the the editor of the NFHS baseball rules. So, if Rhode Island is not on the list anymore, are these others still?
