Stop, you're both right. The 1099-K threshold is $20,000. The 1099-MISC and NE threshold is $2,000. Both of these are for 2026 and were changed due to the One Big Beautiful Bill. Most independent contractors would get the NEC version.

These guys weren't being squeezed. I noted Porter doing it for every batter.

The NWS (National Weather Service) specifies the same as NFHS: See lightning or hear thunder, go to safe place for 30 minutes - repeat as necessary. If NWS specifies it, I'm doing it. I can only imagine the lawsuit if an umpire or local rule runs counter to NWS recommendation.

The P who put the runners on base owns the runs.

South Jersey one man MS $84. Our fee schedule doesn't show a rate for one man varsity or JV, but I know in 2021 we did have some JV one man games. I believe the fee was 1.5 the normal for two man JV: So, $63 x 1.5 = $94/95.

Looks like the rules cited by elares apply only by local league adoption and for regular season only. https://www.littleleague.org/playing-rules/rule-changes/

Guest guest: Re Senor Azul's BRD quotes being contradictory. They are not. Note the difference between correcting the count before the next pitch versus after the next pitch. The former is correctable per Rumble; the latter not correctable per Hopkins.

I would not be disappointed if ZebraWeb disappeared... It looks/feels like an application from the early 2000s.

From NJSIAA, 12/11: Baseball and softball pitchers and catchers may begin practicing on Friday, March 26, 2021. Team practices for all sports will begin on Thursday, April 1, 2021. Competition will start on Monday, April 19, 2021, and the season will end on Sunday, June 20, 2021. NJSIAA post-season will start Tuesday, June 1, 2021, and conclude Sunday, June 20, 2021; however teams not participating in the post-season may continue to play regular season games through the end of the season, as long as they do not exceed the maximum number of regular season games permitted.

Not to belabor a thread that's gone astray, but: This was ball four. The runner stealing second and possibly being thrown out is irrelevant unless the catcher's throw went awry and the runners could advance further than 1B/2B. In that case I agree with the above cites that unless the batter's action was intentional...

For NFHS per 2-5-1.b this would be a fair ball: "A fair ball is a batted ball which: b. contacts fair ground on or beyond an imaginary line between first and third base."

+1 for all black shoes +1 for charcoal pants BB/SB I cleaned my NB base shoes by tossing them in the washer, then air dry. Came out like new. I'd suggest only a few times a season. Haven't tried and wouldn't recommend for NB plate shoes.

Use the National Weather Service as your rationale for any level not covered by rule (like Little League or NFHS): 30 minutes (guessing that's where LL/HS get their rule). I'm not having a fried player or coach on my conscience - or my bank account.

Today: NJ (NJSIAA) "doubled-down on its stance of a desire to play spring sports in some capacity this season — even if that meant extending the season — though it acknowledged that obstacles could ultimately prevent pushing the season beyond June." https://www.nj.com/highschoolsports/2020/04/njsiaa-is-discussing-extending-the-hs-sports-season-if-thats-what-is-required.html

AdBlock (they're different apps, but very similar - and free) also works.

Try AdBlock. It's free and it works. I'm sure there are other similar..

NJ umpire here: lawump's quote above is what our interpreter explained to us: Rather than the balls being safer (although perhaps they may be) the NOCSAE standard re balls is to ensure more performance consistency across manufacturers.

I spray my gear with a mixture of about 1/3 white vinegar 2/3 water. Vinegar is a natural anti-fungal/bacterial agent. And, no, I don't end up smelling like a salad.

There's less than 3/1000 of second between ball touches/smacks (figure a 90mph throw = 1584 inches/second, three inches between touch/smack). Realistically, even with slo-mo replay, that's pretty hard to detect.

OBR 5.09(a)(1) comment: A fielder, in order to make a catch on a foul ball nearing a dugout or other out-of-play area (such as the stands), must have one or both feet on or over the playing surface (including the lip of the dugout) and neither foot on the ground inside the dugout or in any other out-of-play area. Ball is in play, unless the fielder, after making a legal catch, steps or falls into a dugout or other out-of-play area, in which case the ball is dead. OBR 5.06(b)(3)(C) Comment: If a fielder, after having made a legal catch, should step or fall into any out-of-play area, the ball is dead and each runner shall advance one base, without liability to be put out, from his last legally touched base at the time the fielder entered such out-of-play area.

OP was for OBR, but just a note re rule differences (from my dated - 2015 - BRD): Fed: A fielder need have only one foot touching fair territory - which seems to imply even that one foot need need not be entirely in). Penalty, if both feet are out: illegal pitch (ball/balk). NCAA: Same except BRD states "in" fair territory - which probably means same as above. Penalty: none, unless play benefits defense in which case play is nullified. OBR: All must be in fair territory. Penalty: Pretty much same as NCAA. Interestingly, most of the examples cited in BRD are for F7/F9 sneaking in/around to make some kind of play.

How about in the windup position, only the heel of the pivot foot in contact with the rubber (foot in the hole in front of rubber)? Legal position? Rules seem to stipulate only "pivot foot contact."

I feel your pain. I had the first "revised" question you posted above. Unfortunately, because I had "locked in" the test questions/answers, I was only able to access the responses for a and b - c and d simply do not appear. No way to select the revised answers. I'm confident my answer of b was graded incorrect.

Thanks for the football shoulder pad thought, storm13. I've tried to find these for a while. A Google using "t-hook football shoulder pad hardware" turns up a number of sellers, including Amazon. Unfortunately, they're sold in packs of 50 - LOL. kylejt, If you'd like to sell me a few please PM.

I'm thinking there's a difference between a quick pitch and no stop from the stretch. The former impacts the batter more, "before the batter is reasonably set in the batter's box" - but, can't say I've QPs in the LLWS so far. The no stop clearly impacts runners more - but, with no leads and allowable by rule - it's a moot point.
