Maybe others will, but the last I knew, NFHS still leaves the double base for state associations to deal with.

This is true.

Buddha, I know you are in Georgia. If you are involved in the current high school postseason, know that GHSA has adopted the ASA interpretation, at the suggestion of some of us umpires.

Steve,

Is that routine in GA? Around here, the umpires are often the last one's asked about anything.

Mike,

Steve is right, that is the new rule that NFHS adopted for this year.

I am happy to say that umpires (at least several of us) have a strong influence in GHSA softball. The deputy director with softball responsibility has allowed a group willing to step up and help administer the umpire program (establish training requirements, run camps, rules clinics, write our own test, evaluate and rate umpires for postseason play, etc.) a great deal of input; as long as he has the final word, and we show improvement in the program, he has been very supportive.

Other than the deputy director himself, I would have to say that three or four umpires are the next most influential people in GHSA softball.

Yes, I am currently in GHSA calling.

I ask this question, cause "You may all have Umpires that still play ball and Umpire at the same time."

If your going to playball, but not call that night, playball but don't try to do both.

Had a fellowblue down here that does both.

Trust me he is a good ball player and a umpire, but you have to read the new rule for the year. nuff said..
