Rule Confusion

[Makina]

Not a very big deal, but had an umpire insist the girls have to wear a chin strap at the So Cal 18u PGF qualifier this weekend. Most girls did not have a chin strap, so they were all scrambling to borrow chin straps.

FYI - Premier is playing by NFHS rules and they do not require a chin strap. Hopefully this blue reads up on the NFHS rules and knows the difference in rules from ASA. Thus hopefully not affecting the outcome of a critical game.

does that mean the pitchers don't have to start with both feet on the rubber

isn't that high school rules

Rubber? You must mean Pitcher's Plate...

i call it rubber, does not look anything like a plate to me

Rubber / plate ... same same ... Just don't call it 'the mound' ... LMAOWIOAB!

PGF rules are NFHS with some exceptions:

Pitching distance - 12U & 14U Division 40 Feet, 16U & 18HS Division 43 Feet

Both feet must be in contact with pitching rubber prior to forward stride.

...

No metal cleats in the 12U nor 14U division

Just for clarification: If the blue does not know about the chin strap rule difference, then they probably don't know about some of the other rule differences, that could really affect the outcome of a game. I.e. bunting and missed base appeals are some of the things that I know are different. Penalties for incorrect info. on scorecards etc. are also different from ASA rules to name a few.

What difference are you noting here? I have a feeling I know what it is, but it doesn't only apply to missed bases.

And so, exactly what kind of "rubber" does it look like to you.
On second thought, I don't really want to know.

That's what being a Protestant's all about. That's why it's the church for me. That's why it's the church for anyone who respects the individual and the individual's right to decide for him or herself. When Martin Luther nailed his protest up to the church door in fifteen-seventeen, he may not have realised the full significance of what he was doing, but four hundred years later, thanks to him, my dear, I can wear whatever I want on my John Thomas,... [sniff] ...and, Protestantism doesn't stop at the simple condom! Oh, no! I can wear French Ticklers if I want.
MRS. BLACKITT:
You what?
MR. BLACKITT:
French Ticklers. Black Mambos. Crocodile Ribs. Sheaths that are designed not only to protect, but also to enhance the stimulation of sexual congress.
MRS. BLACKITT:
Have you got one?
MR. BLACKITT:
Have I got one? Uh, well, no, but I can go down the road any time I want and walk into Harry's and hold my head up high and say in a loud, steady voice, 'Harry, I want you to sell me a condom. In fact, today, I think I'll have a French Tickler, for I am a Protestant.'
