Karina Suggested this for the website
Karina from the harrisonparkcommunity.com was doing a summer project on her favorite sport Softball and did some research on the internet and came across our site while compiling her results.
Karina then suggested that we post a site that she found, which we have done. So if you ever need to understand a softball definition, you have Karina to thank for that.
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.
