Reply to "NFHS 2016 rule on catches mask"

I think a lot of the lack of enforcement comes from umpires working and players playing different rules. The only time I do HS-level ball is during the HS season, and that's in between my college schedule. Last year, I worked a HS game where it didn't occur to me until after that the home catcher was wearing a mask and helmet combination--it didn't register because I'm used to levels where they are allowed. Same goes for players; if they only use FED rules during the HS season and others during their travel/summer ball, it's not going to be apparent to them that they can't wear what they normally would.
