Mechanics question
 

In basketball, there are charts in the rules book that show the mechanics for different calls. Is there something like that for softball? I know the easy stuff but was curious about things like delayed dead ball and if there may be others I am not aware of. Thanks, Mike

Hey, Firemikeb,

In the ASA rule book, the mechanics start on page 199 (Umpire's manual), and the signal chart starts on page 263. But don't just skip around to those pages - make sure you read the book from cover to cover. Wash, repeat. :)

Good luck, man!

Maybe this can be useful:

Thanks, just the info I was looking for, Mike

That looks amazingly like the drawings in the ASA Manual..... :eek:

Now we know where ASA got them! :rolleyes:

Try the other way around.

We need a better smilie for satirical irony! ;)

Hey! I got the satirical irony. The sarcastic smiley worked, as far as I am concerned.

Get the NCAA umpire manual - it also has good drawings of mechanics.

Peace Baby!!:D

The umpire pictured really needs to get with the program. It appears he is wearing the old button up Elbeco with the ASA patch on the left sleeve. :eek:

And where the hell is his hat?

Probably a female ump. She shaves her head.

Where can you find a hat to fit that gourd?
