positioning of fielders

[Ed Maeder]

The only stipulations in ASA in mens and womens ball is that all must be in fair territory and catcher in catchers box and none may be in the batters line of vision. Coed has to have two of each gender in the outfield and the infield and opposites at pitcher and catcher. Coed is the only league that has some stipulations as to where fielders have to be positioned at the pitch to keep the two and two in the outfield and the two and two in the infield. Don't know what kind of ball you were playing but if it was coed the director was right. The umpires judgement on where the players have to be at the pitch. An infielder is considered to be any person who defends the area of the field around first, second, third or shortstop areas. This is where the umpires judgement comes into play.
