NFHS Update

[CecilOne]

Two weeks ago I said
"I treat the "bullpen" standard warmup area as part of the confiness of teh field, even if confined only by concept. I believe that is the intent of the rule because we know NFHS leans toward safety.
Beyond that, if I notice such action, I say "Coach, the warmup catcher isn't wearing a mask"; in a friendly advice tone. Also because we know NFHS leans toward safety plus we don't want a game delayed. "

Based on all the discussion and mostly the pronouncements from NFHS RC, I will only treat the bullpen as within the confines if inside the fence. That is in spite of my philosophical disagreement and my wondering why the rule says "confines" if it really means "fence".

DA question - If there also is a fence outside the bullpen which attaches to the inner field fence, which one applies?
