Timing play - force was off.

If I remember right, Rachel, we had this discussion at the MSHSL State tournament 2 years ago. I believe we left the tent with a discrepency between ASA and NFHS.

ASA - the ball needs to land beyond the diamond (1B - 2B - 3B)
NFHS - the ball needs only to land beyond a diagonal from 1B to 3B to be fair

Is that what you remember as well?
