ASA 16U pitching distance

[Dakota]

It is a done deal that HS is at 43' (although they do have one more year to adapt), and that ASA 16U and above is at 43'. NFHS rules don't directly address sub-varsity, so schools/conferences/states will deal with this as they see fit.

Dealing with varying pitching distances for summer ball on shared fields is not new. In ASA JO fastpitch, you already had to deal with 35, 40, and 43 in either field allocation or field prep. This just makes the number of teams at 40' fewer than before and the number of teams at 43' greater than before.
