Independent Fastpitch Association
IFA would like thank the NCAA, in particular Dee Abrahamson, for allowing the IFA to design and model the
IFA rulebook.
Two new amendments in the Current IFA Rulebook
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY......
NEW IFA RULE: All 14U teams will pitch from the 43' pitching distance.
NEW IFA RULE: All 8U - 10U - 12U will be allowed to bat either 9, 10 or 11 batters in a line-up during bracket play. Batters #10 and 11 will be listed as an X-Player on the line-up card. This will be determined by the line-up handed to the home plate umpire at the beginning of each game. Once the line-up has been submitted, each team is required to maintain the same number of batters in the batting order for the remainder of the game. Any line-up spot that comes up without an eligible substitute (via injury or sickness) will become an automatic out for the batting team.
These two rules will be implemented in the online version by
September 1, 2010
All teams should be mailed or issued a rulebook at the time of registration.
