Does anyone know if there's a publication that compares FED, NCAA & ASA rule differences?

There's a publication for baseball but I have been unable to find one for softball.

Thanks

Just FYI....John Bennett is an umpire in Southern California. From what I understand, he started compiling this document several years ago for his own personal use.

The document is very thorough and a good listing of the rules differences between the three codes. The $7.00 doesn't do much more than cover his costs and time. he continues to do this as a service to all umpires that want to take advantage of it.

Let me second Andy's recommendation of John's work. It is a very easy to use document.

I put together a Fed/ASA differences document for a couple of years and was going to start adding NCAA into that, then I found John's work. I know about the work that goes into his booklet and we can all see the accuracy - it is well worth the price.
