As far as DP/Flex goes I don't need to worry about it, being rec it unlimited subs and everyone bats rule. Obviously batting out of order is an issue that I might have to deal with so any help would be appreciated.

I know the difference between Interference and obstruction but not clear on how to rule.

Any other help that can be passed along I appreciate. Like I said I am working on getting the rule book but haven't found one yet. Thanks for the link.

Well, if you contact the UIC in Indiana, you'll be able to get a rule book. It'll cost about $10, but it's seriously worth it.

We're not trying to deflect your questions, as we're here to help all our fellow umpires. However, it would probably do you great service to get the rule book first, read it, then ask any questions afterward.

Welcome to the site. We're here to help!
