DESIGNATED RUNNER

 
   


Subject:      RULING ON DESIGNATED RUNNER

 
   

It has been brought to my attention that some confusion has arisen over the use of a Designated Runner (DR).

 

The use of the DR in any game of Softball is a local association ground rule and not a rule in the national rule book.

At DDMSA there has never been such a ground rule introduced into our competition. So please be aware that any

 team trying to put a DR into the game will find that that particular player and coach will be subject to the unreported

substitute rule and all penalties relating to this rule. Rule 4 Sec 8b.

 

If there are any queries relating to this please do not hesitate to contact me.
