nsa-fpsr (force play slide rule).
Please help. Can't find the rule in the nsa book for this. Situation: Men's 12" slow pitch. R1 on first, ground ball to SS, flips to second, but R1 takes out second basemen with a slide, but it's way to the outfield side of second base. What, if any, are the restrictions on the sliding runner? Thanks in advance. |
The NSA book is online
http://www.playnsa.com/uploads/2012%...ow%20Pitch.pdf You can search using CTRL + F I tried searching Retired(as in retired runner) and got a bunch of stuff about retired military personnel. The Umpire manual is here: http://www.playnsa.com/uploads/NSA%2...02-03-2012.pdf |

The only rule sets I'm aware of that has FSPR is FED and NCAA Baseball. I don't know of any other baseball or softball organizations that have such a rule. It appears it doesn't exist in NSA.
For those organizations that don't have FSPR, a runner may slide into the pivotperson on the double play if he/she executes a legal slide (e.g., no rolling block or raised foot) and can still reach the base. |
