As is true in ASA, the tiebreaker rule is generally not in effect in adult play; it is used in youth/JO/junior softball.
Don't forget men's senior play. :)

*looing back at what I typed*

. . .

Wow. Holy schitt was I Lis-dexic when I wrote that.

I meant to type, "I didn't think softball had an International Tie Breaker rule."

I guess that's what I get for typing faster than my head was thinking.

But yes... my point was, there's no such thing as "ITB". Even in ISF, it's called the "tie breaker rule."

how bout in extra innings, have the teams flip to determine who bats first and then play sudden death? First team score wins! if you lose the coin toss, then play some defense. That thought crossed my mind during a game last week that went on forever in 20 degree weather...


flame if you want, i'm just joking around here....

Sorry, but if you are dumb enough to be working a game in cold weather, you have no right to complain. :cool:

Other than that, "sudden death", IMO, has no place in sports of any kind.....except soccer and it should start after minute one of the game.

And before you start, I do not consider a playoff in golf sudden death since all participants have an equal opportunity.
