New rules for 2019

I’ve heard 2019 NFHS is changing like NCAA for illegal pitch where penalty is a ball on the batter and no longer runner gets next base. Has USSSA or USA adopted this rule change or will rules be different from 1 tournament to the next depending on who sponsored the tournament. Has anyone heard of any other rule changes we should be aware of.

True

6-1-1 PENALTY, 6-1-2 Thru 4 PENALTY, 6-2-1 PENALTY, 6-2-7 PENALTY: in the case of an illegal pitch, the batter is awarded a ball. The penalty that permitted base runners to be awarded one base without liability to be put out is removed.

Rationale: The new language creates more balance between offense and defense. The batter should receive the award rather than runners already on base.​


USA softball has not changed the award for an illegal pitch.

Does anyone know if painting a catchers helmet is considered a distraction or anything of that nature for youth 12U players? Recently we sent out helmet out for airbrush but have heard some rumors about that not being allowed by many... Is this true or all rumor? First post so if this is the wrong place I apologize.
