Now that NFHS has gone to 43' (beginning 2010-11 season), will ASA change anything for 16U or 18U-B?

Good change on pitching distance and on letting bobby pins etc...

Not sure why we needed a definition or clarification on a fair ball?

It's the second base deal. I suppose (guess) they are trying to deal with the imaginary line theory as to what constitutes "beyond 1st and 3rd".

Love the bobby pin rule.

I guess some jewelry nazis are gonna have to find something else to do with all their spare time other than hair inspections.

Tout au contraire, wade old friend. The referenced document says:

Added an exception to permit hard, unadorned devices, such as bobby pins, barrettes and hair clips, no longer than 2 inches, to be worn to control a player’s hair.

Plenty of justification there for continued hair inspections!

Doh!

You are correct.

I must further indure then...

Now, along with the bat ring, you will be issued a bobby pin ruler.

It is. A pop fly that drops untouched to the infield and rolls foul is not a fair ball. The infield in NFHS was a triangle - home to 1B to 3B to home. Now it is a rectangle - home to 1B to 2B to 3B to home. Same as ASA.

Sounds like a square. Although I suppose a square can be a rectangle, but a rectangle cannot be a square. Or, maybe a diamond? Whichever...

Well, if you want to be exact, it is neither, at least not for this rule since 3/4 of 2B is outside the square.

Heck we haven't had out 2009 HS season yet and they are publishing changes for 2010

Now that there is a clarification of the line up card, will there be a penalty for an inaccurate line up card?
