As a coach, I often come on this thread just to try to learn things by reading some of the discussions. I'd like to get a clarification as to the rules.
I often see references to "FED"...am I correct in assuming this is the same as NFHS rules? Obviously, OBR rules are different; are they essentially Major League Rule? Is it just a matter of different states as to what rules are used or do you often find school teams using FED rules, but summer teams using something different?
Here in Ohio, the OHSSA uses NFHS for all of our high school baseball games. I believe, though, that a lot of our kids who play summer ball can play in a league (ACME) where the NFHS is used, but other play in leagues where something akin to Major League rules are used. Confuses the heck out of me.
