Do ASA Rules allow EH and DP/Flex to be used together in a game? Just trying to figure out how to get another player in the game.

No such thing as an EH in fast pitch. But with the DP/Flex, if the DP plays defense, and of course you continue to play with a FLEX in the 10th slot (defense only), then one (1) of the front nine players, just bats.

Not the wrong rule book Lou, but have you been reading any rule book at all? The DP/Flex will give you plenty of ways to get people into the game. Don't be afraid of the rule book, or the DP/Flex Rule. It's easier to understand than you might think.

Look at the TRAINING PAGE on this web site, and you'll get an education on the DP/Flex like no other place. That's what makes this site so superior to any other, the details, and variety of information available. This forum is also a very valuable tool, where you can ask questions and exchange information.

Actually USSSA allows 1 or 2 AP's so I get the question..In every USSSA tournament we played this year (15 games) I used an AP and a DP/Flex , mostly to get more players a WHOLE game, (not a piece)...but I never knew if it was legal...no one ever called me on it...so Lou< I get your question...

What in the world is an AP? You consider USSSA, real softball?

AP? ASSOCIATED PRESS! They allow reporters in the line-up, just like the military allows reporters (IMBEDS) in the front lines? There you have it! AP!

In USSSA the "AP" is an Additional Player. The use of both the DP/FLEX and/or up to 2 AP's are allowed. this would bring the number of players in a game to 12 with 11 batting. ASA only allows for 10 players in the game with 9 batting when utilizing the DP/FLEX in a game.
