So, in Co-Ed slow pitch since there is a penalty for not having two female outfielders (ASA Rule 4, Section 1.C.3.c), the definition of outfielder in Rule 1 is 'A fielder who defends the area of the field that the left, left-center, right center, and right fielders normally play' then that is what is used to determine whether or not an infraction occurred.
What does a slow pitch umpire use to determine if there is a violation of the rule? There must be two females and two males on the grass?
However, since in fast-pitch there is no penalty defined for the outfielders, the Rule 1 definition of outfielder is more for reference and as long as Rule 6, Section 5 (Defensive Positioning) is followed, it doesn't matter where the players are?
A. The pitcher shall not deliver a pitch unless are players are positioned in fair territory, except for the the catcher how must be in the catcher's box.
B. A fielder shall not take a position in the batter's line of vision, with deliberate unsportsmanlike intent, or act in a manner to distract the batter. A pitch does not have to be released.
