AboutDr. Mark R. Ambrose Expertise I can answer all questions about book rules and "case book" rules governing the playing of ASA softball. Have a REAL situation that happened and are not sure the proper rule was applied, ask me.
Experience I am a registered ASA umpire, a MASA "At-Large" umpire since 1996 and a retired District Umpire-In-Chief. I have very extensive experience in MASA State Championship and ASA national qualifying tournament play both as an umpire and an Umpire-In-Chief. I completed 3 ASA National Schools including the ASA national advanced umpire school in Ok City("Bernie" for those who know him was the lead clinician, I survived the week and couldn't let my kids watch the game tapes when I got home. No, I love you Bernie). I was one of 4 "Yankee" umpires selected to umpire the Men's D National East Championship in 2002 in Winter Haven FL

Question scenario.... if I was to take out original player ( say # 25) from the lineup and put in a sub (say # 35) and later on in the game I want to put in another sub. ...can I take #35 out realizing she is now "dead" and enter my next sub (say # 45) into # 35's spot.. or to make it more easier can I sub a sub for a sub..I heartd this from a softball rep.. and just wanted to clarify this one more time
Answer Hi Jake,
A starter and any sub may re-enter once. You can enter a sub for a sub etc.
#1 starts, you sub #2 in for 1, later #3 in for 2 (both 1 and 2 may re-enter, they are not dead) later #4 for 3,then #1, 2 or 3 for 4. Now if 1, 2 or 3 come out they are finished for the game. you can still use the others.
