2009 NSA Rules - Bunt

Maybe I am off my nut, but does the 2009 NSA rulebook state that a bunt is not legal?

Rule 1, Sec. 11
BUNT: A bunt is a fair ball in which the batter does not take a full
swing at the ball but holds the bat in such a manner in the path of the
ball to tap the ball slowly to the infield. EFFECT: The ball is dead,
the batter is out, and baserunners may not advance.:eek:

No version of slowpitch that I know about allows bunting.

Aw man....

I was reading the slowpitch rules. My bad, thanks for the lesson :o

NSA sure publishes a rulebook that is easy to use.
