This past weekend in a tourney one of my girls rounds first while pitcher has ball in the circle comes to a stop and returns to first base like we have been teaching forever. Ump calls her out for pausing on the stop. I asked him how he determined she paused and how can a player come to a stop without pausing. I have heard several things from 2 counts, to two beats to without hesitation. Playing ASA (sorry USA) ball.
Does anyone else feel this rule leaves to much up for determination or too much of a judgement call? This was in bracket play and did not effect outcome of game, player was instructed to go and did not. However I want to make sure we are teaching the girls the correct rules. If this had been a close game i would have been tossed, instead i asked for clarification and returned to my bucket shaking my head.
