If
you are umpiring any ASA tournaments you should periodically check for rules
clarifications. They post these about
every other month. Go to www.softball.org and click on the “Umpires” tab and
scroll down to “Rule Clarifications and Plays”. There is a lot of good stuff there.

American Legion umpires:
The
only composite bats that are allowed are those with BBCOR
certification. Also, make sure all base coaches (including
adults) are wearing a helmet. For
a copy of the American Legion rules go to http://www.legion.org/documents/baseball/baseball_rules.pdf.
