Change in the Rule-book – Temporary Runner -REVISED

RULES UPDATE FROM SOFTBALL CANADA!!

Rule Book Update

The previous correction has been amended as follows.

The previous correction to the Temporary Runner situation has been further corrected. The rule should read as follows.

Temporary Runner (FP) sentence in Section 3.2.7 should read:

If an incorrect player is used as a Temporary Runner, the error will be corrected without penalty when noticed by the offensive team prior to an appeal by the defensive team.

Note: the appeal must be completed by the defensive team while the incorrect temporary runner is on base. A pitch or play must occur prior to the appeal being made.

Once the incorrect temporary runner has scored (touched home plate), the defensive team cannot appeal.

A correct appeal by the defensive team results in the runner being called out.
