A summary of the recently adopted playing rules changes for 2008 has been posted and is available from the link on the Home Page. These changes were adopted at the SSUSA Annual Board Meeting in Sacramento on January 12-13, 2008. They will also be more fully discussed in the upcoming issue of the Senior Softball News and will be incorporated into the 2008 Official Senior Softball USA Rulebook.
It looks as if Bash was right on the money!
The way I read the rule about the ball hitting the pitcher , and the batter is out, only applies to the Major divisions
Smoth01, it looks like it applies to Major Plus only.
While it does appear that way, why ONLY them for the pitching part...?
All the other rules seem to effect all.
I know I'am not too smart, but where is the link for the "Rule changes for 2008" . What is the name of the Link on the home page?
Thanks

GB 69: If, one looks to the left of this page, one will c the word Rules.
Click on this word....... Rules, & the 2007 rules will come up.

Nope - go to the home page and look to the upper right in the column that is used to list the tournaments and you'll see a "new rules" heading to click on.
I GUESS I'M COMPLETLY BLIND, I DO NOT SEE
ANYTHING THAT REFERENCE TO "2008" RULES.
It's immediatly below the TOC info on the home page. You might have to close your browser and open another one.
I would think the rule on Foul Ball Clarification meant to say:
A fly ball caught in foul territory (Rule ยง6.27D) with less than two outs with runners on base is not a DEAD ball. The ball remains alive and runners on base may advance at the risk of being put out.
I replaced FOUL with DEAD which makes more sense..
