Huh???

Sure, you've never heard about the special foul ball waiver in ISF ball?

Is it just me or ...
Was the PU in the Czech game not verbalizing while still down?
Was the first Australia pitcher leaping a lot?

That's all the games I've seen, others on my DVR.

This is being played under ISF rules...right?

Didn't ISF legalize the leap last year?

From the ISF Rulebook:

j. The pivot foot must remain in contact with the pitcher’s plate, or push off and drag away from the pitcher’s plate or be airborne prior to the stepping (non-pivot) foot touching the ground.
Note: It is legal to drag, leap or hop and then land and throw as long as the original push starts from the pitcher’s plate. It is not legal to step off with the pivot foot and then drag, leap or hop and throw.

It should be noted that the term "hop" here does not refer to a crow hop as that is still illegal.

These were yes or no questions.
