Is crow hopping now legal
A crow-hop/replant is not allowed. This is the area that causes a lot of confusion. The uninformed think that a leap is a crow-hop. Some have even gone as far as to say that: "with all leaps there is a replant." And that is not the case, as with the WBSC interpretation. A crop-hop is defined as...- Blue69

Where are all the dads?
Coach and Umpire Shortages? No one to blame but the Parents themselves. I am 75 years old and have been involved with Baseball and Softball 68+ years. I umpired a JUCO Softball game last nite. Great players, coaches, and fans. But I also have seen the opposite too many times. I have had parents...- Blue69

Ok to bring up at plate meeting?
The slingshot pitch has been around as long as Fastpitch Softball! Very Rare but Very “Legal”! I would get with the Umpire in Chief (UIC) before the tournament starts. Usually the UIC briefs his crews prior to the start. Please post a video if you can! I have been calling Fastpitch for 25...- Blue69

Umps not knowing rules
An umpire that doesn’t ask for help on a tag play at 1B from the HP Umpire is wrong! Yes it is a judgement call, but in a situation like was described in my organization it is mandatory and just the right thing to do!!!- Blue69
