Illegally dented bats shall be removed from the game without penalty. A league official will place a visible marking above the illegally dented bat’s handle. Any such marked bat will be deemed illegal equipment and penalty for its use governed by ASA rule.

The easiest way to look at a situation like this is to give each win, loss, and tie a certain value. To keep things simple, let’s use the standard of one point for a win and ½ a point for a loss.

A tie is both ½ a win and ½ a loss. Half of a win... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (sixofdiamonds) http://softballamerica.yuku.com/topic/377 Thu, 28 Sep 2006 16:57:43 GMT http://softballamerica.yuku.com/topic/372/t/Softball-America-Year-In-Review-Archives.html

Courtesy runners may be used providing an actual injury to a player has occurred during, or prior to a game. Any batter/runner using/requiring a courtesy runner will be expected to stop at 1st base on any batted ball other than an over-the fence home run, ground-rule double, or out of play situation where extra bases are awarded by the umpire. feeds@yuku.com (sixofdiamonds) http://softballamerica.yuku.com/topic/383 Wed, 10 May 2006 07:28:46 GMT http://softballamerica.yuku.com/topic/385/t/Altered-Equipment.html Amateur Softball Association Press Release
