    RULES
    Softball – Rules 2.00, 8.01(s), 8.05(a) – Leaping: The act of leaping while delivering a pitch in softball is a legal
    delivery. The pitcher may have both feet off the ground at the same time as long as both feet remain in the 24-inch width
    of the pitching plate and the pitcher does not replant the pivot foot. The replant of a pivot foot occurs when the pitcher
    pushes off the playing surface from anywhere other than the pitcher’s plate in the act of delivering a pitch.

    Softball (Senior Division) – Rules 2.00, 3.03, 7.14(a) – Designated Player (DP)/Flex: This change replaces
    the Designated Hitter with the Designated Player (DP)/Flex to provide more opportunity for players in Senior League
    Softball.
    • Designated Player (DP): The player who is initially on the line-up card in the team’s batting order but not
    in the defensive line-up.
    • Flex: The player who is initially listed in the tenth spot, and may play any defensive position, may enter the
    game on offense only in the Designated Player’s (DP) batting position.

    TOURNAMENT
    Baseball and Softball (Tournament Play) – Rule 2.00 – At-Bat: Clarifies that for purposes of satisfying
    Mandatory Play for Tournament Play only, the definition of At-Bat in regard to completing an At-Bat after a player is retired
    as a batter; retired as a batter-runner; reaches base and scores; or reaches base and the inning/game ends, does not
    apply in Tournament Play.
