WBSC Fast Pitch Case Study April 2021

The rulings in this casebook are based on the Official Rules of Fast Pitch Softball (“Official Rules”)
of the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC Softball), [formerly operating as the

Index, a key word and subject matter indicator to the Rules, are for reference and do not form part
of the Rules.
