    USSSA A player guest in a USSSA C tourney

    I agree with you on both counts. In Ohio when you sanction USSSA you get a copy of the national rules and bylaws. You have to do some digging to find that these aren't the only rules you need to know. Here is a link to Ohio's version of pickup player rules Roster Procedures

    USSSA A player guest in a USSSA C tourney

    Great question, and one you will get differing answers to. Answers would still differ if it were an A player guesting in an A tournament or a B player in a B tournament. In my opinion the rule book is unclear at best concerning the issue of playing with other teams. I don't find the word guest...

    Scorekeeping issues:

    Scenario 1: If a preceding runner had been put out this would be a FC. With no preceding runner put out the question becomes would the batter/runner have been safe or out. She would have been safe since no one was covering first. A base hit is credited to the batter when she advances to a base...

    Scoring question?

    Yes. Runners on base is a double edged sword for a batter.

    Scoring question?

    Fielder's choice because she was checking the runner.

    Crazy way to lose a game

    I don't see how finishing the game is fair to both teams. I guess what I'm asking is, how does an umpire or UIC make this right? By calling the runner out he cost one team a chance to win and he cost the other team a chance to appeal the missed base. Regardless of who wins in a finished game...

    Crazy way to lose a game

    Had this been protested, how should it have been handled?

    errors?

    I forgot fielder's choice as a possibility for 1. In that scenario the scorer needs to determine whether she was checking/holding a runner. Here are some NCAA scoring guidelines: 14.3.2.2 When a ground ball is fielded and no throw or a late throw is made, a hit is credited to the batter unless...

    errors?

    1. Is a base hit, not an error 2. Depends. Could the pitcher have fielded the ball with ordinary effort?

    Scoring question - Fielder's Choice or a hit? Earned or unearned run?

    Feilder's choice. An out doesn't need to be made, nor does a throw. The fielder can choose to attempt a different out or check the runner.

    Pitcher throwing to first

    Agreed. I shake my head when I read most league rules supplements. They sometimes allow more silliness than they prevent. Writing rules isn't as easy as it may seem.

    Obstruction on F5 when she was in foul territory even with the bag

    Why was F5 standing where she was?

    First Base Interference Intent?

    The runner at second is only entitled to the last base touched at the time of the interference.

    Coaches don't know the rules, argue most of the time!

    I have NFHS but have been unable to find ASA in the app store. Just found it online. Thanks.

    At what point does it become obstruction?

    That was not evident in your first post but I take you on your word if you say it is so.
