Double base ?

Re: Earlier Statement Regarding
Double Base [Aug 6, 0920]

I really like and IMO think that AFA has
the best procedure for handling the DB at
this time. Initial play - 1B utilized as
one big base. Runner or defender my use
either white/orange portion. Once runner
secures 1B she must utilize the white side.
[makes sense since orange in foul ground,
and as a runner she would be off base with
ball in circle could be called out]

Remember, all JMHO

Glen,

Doesn't using both portions of the double-base defeat the "safety" factor for which this base was designed?

Does AFA recognize this piece of equipment necessary as a safety measure?

If it does, ignoring it's purpose may put the organization at risk in case of litigation.

Mike,

To be honest our Rule (AFA) book does not even
mention anything about the double base at this
time. We utilized it on trail basis in several
qualifiers, the state, and the nationals for the
first time. We had no problems at any of these
events. Most of the players utilize the double
base in their ASA play, but none really objected
to the procedure that we have been using and none
seem to have any problem adjusting to differences.
