ASA Tie Breaker vs ISF tie breaker

[BucketLover]

Forgive my ignorance, but the ASA rule book states that after 7 innings it will use the tie breaker rule in championship play. I've searched and searched but can't find what the ASA tie breaker rule is, is it the International tie breaker rule, but they don't want to mention ISF in their rule book or is it something totally different? Thanks in advance.

Pretty much ISF, see ASA Rule 5, Section 11 A & B. Also see Rule 5, Section 10.D for "no time limit."

I think it would be far more interesting if they would go to the Olympic hockey format and let the same hitter keep hitting!

Technically, there is no "International" Tie-Breaker rule.

The tie breaker rule (9th batter in the inning starts at second base) was first used in the ISF rule set. It has been copied and used by most of the other softball alphabets.

Since it was first used in ISF rules, it has come to be known as the International Tie Breaker rule.

Sorry, cannot help myself here. It is the last batting position due that inning physically occupied by a player. IOW, if shorthanded, the batter occupying the 8th position due that inning is placed on 2B.
