NSA procedure - is this correct?

Excuse me. It was a Base Burglar. Here is the rule:

Section 5 - The Base Burglar.
A. Must be designated before the game to the umpire or official
scorekeeper.
B. Can only be used once per half inning.
C. Cannot be a position player or EP.
D. May be utilized as a regular substitute, however, that team will lose the
Base Burglar for the remainder of the game.
E. CO-Ed Play: Both a male and a female Base Burglar may be used once
per half inning. Males may be designated for males. Females may be
designated for males or females.

I think I've seen his cousin, Ham. He works with some red-headed guy named Ronald.

Actually, though, as I recall, that has something to do with a Base Bandit or something like that. Don't have too much familiarity with ISF, but I recall some association that had Base Bandit tourneys a while back.

ISA (not ISF) does use a Base Bandit or Base Burglar hence the cartoon character in prison garb. It is their version of a Courtesy Runner.

ISA - Rule 3 - Section 4 - THE BASE BANDIT/BASE BURGLAR is allowed to run once an inning. If the (BB) enters the game, the (BB) position is eliminated. If the (BB) is injured while on base, the batter/runner that the (BB) ran for must take their proper place on base.

The BB must also be listed on the starting lineup.

The base bandit is part of it....

This ruleset also allows a DH, DEFO (not FLEX), and EPs. I think it is possible for the lineup to list 15 players that are in the game in one way or another.

There is also a rule that if someone drops out of your lineup, it is an automatic out each time that position comes to bat. But wait...if the defense walks the player at bat (intentionally or unintentionally) to get to the automatic out spot, the spot is skipped, no out recorded and the next position comes up.

They also claim to be the first softball organization to allow stealing in slowpitch.

There was a post on eteamz about ISA rules that prompted me to look at the book online...to me, it looks like they just took stuff from other baseball and softball codes and mashed it together with some of their own stuff and published a rulebook. Way too much ambiguity and room for interpretation in the book for me.....

They were the first to have it at all levels, but not sure if they had it when introduced at what used to be ASA's Super level only.
