our softball group is meeting tonight, and I will ask the football/soccer/baseball guys if they use NFHS...I think baseball and football do, but I think soccer uses NCAA....

Interesting. I do know football and baseball use NFHS rules (as does basketball I believe). I'm too lazy to look it up, but I would imagine NY has a seat on the NFHS rules committee for each of those sports.

I was under the belief that all states had a seat at the table. Unless you modified Fed rules ,then you lost your seat.

The state has to use Federation rules in that sport as well. If NY doesn't use NFHS rules for HS softbal then I would imagine they do not have a seat at the NFHS Softball Rules committee. Texas and Mass do not have seats on the NFHS Football Rules Committee though the state organizations are members of the NFHS.

The NFHS rulebook for each sport should have a list of whom the rules committee members are.
