Softball should be played all over the world with the same rules. I don't think it make sense to have local bylaws and I will not understand it either. I do, however, know how it happened that we have several organisations and it makes me sad. I wish all of us can accept the concept of one rule-set; I.m.h.o. that should be ASA or ISF...

by the way they do play basketball in Russia with a different rule set than the NBA

You all lost track of the original comments about local and league rules and how vague, ambiguous and incomplete they usually are. Not that book rules are always specific, precise and complete, but at least they try to be.
