Yes, I know, semantics and all that, but an example for discussion to allow better understanding of other similar rule wording.

Also, it says base line not base path.

NCAA, like most of the codes, repeats certain things too many times throughout the book. When they do that, they run the risk of using alternative language or worse, not changing all areas when there is a rule change.

In my opinion, all of the rule books are written at too high of a reading and comprehension level and the authors don't properly take into account the average umpire.
