FR Fastpitch Rules USSSA
Example “Runner left the base before the pitch — is she out?”
Illegal
Yes — that's an out.
She has to stay on the base until the pitcher lets go of the ball. Leaving early is an immediate dead ball — "no pitch" is called, and she's out without anyone having to tag her.
RULE 8 Sec 18.L USSSA
Built on the rulebooks your league already plays by
USA SoftballUSSSA
Fastpitch Rules is independent and not affiliated with any governing body.

It's 9 a.m. Saturday. Nobody has the rulebook.

Somebody's phone has a PDF nobody can search. Somebody's dad has an opinion. The umpire has a game to run and six more after it.

Fastpitch Rules gives everyone the same answer, with the rule number attached — in about ten seconds.

See how it answers

Plain language first. The rule number underneath.

Every answer cites where it came from, so anyone can check it. When the rule genuinely depends on the division or the situation, it says so instead of guessing.

“Runner left the base before the pitch — is she out?”
Illegal
Yes — that's an out.
She has to stay on the base until the pitcher lets go of the ball. Leaving early is an immediate dead ball — "no pitch" is called, and she's out without anyone having to tag her.
USA Softball · Rule 8 §3(b)
“Can the runner use the white part of first base?”
?Depends
Only when there's no play being made there.
With a play at first, the runner takes the colored base and the fielder takes the white one — that's the whole point of the double base. No play, or after she's reached first safely, either base is fine.
USSSA · RULE 8 Sec 19.C-E
“Catcher blocked the plate without the ball.”
Legal play
No, the runner is safe.
Obstruction is called when a fielder without the ball blocks the basepath. The runner is awarded the base she would have reached.
NFHS · Rule 8-4-3b
The umpire on the field always has the final call. We never pretend otherwise.

Questions leagues ask us

How accurate are the answers?

Every answer cites the rule it came from, so you can check it yourself in seconds. When a rule is genuinely ambiguous, or differs between governing bodies, we say so instead of guessing. And the umpire on the field always has the final call — we're a reference, not a ruling.

Do coaches and parents need an account?

No. They open your link and ask. Nothing to download, no login, no seat to assign. It works in any phone browser and can be saved to a home screen like an app.

What if our league has its own local rules?

That's the main reason to pay for a page. Upload your rule sheet once and it's indexed alongside the official rulebook — answers cite both, and anything specific to your league is flagged as a local rule.

Can we try it before we pay?

Yes, twice over. The public tool is free and needs no account at all. And claiming your league is free too — you upload your rules, ask test questions, and only pay when you're ready to publish the page.

What happens if we don't renew?

Your branded page comes down and the link shows a friendly notice rather than an error — it's printed in handbooks, so it shouldn't look broken. Your local rules stay in your account if you come back next season.

Which rulebooks do you cover?

USA Softball and USSSA. You pick your league's governing body at setup and can change it any time — answers are drawn from that rulebook plus your own local rules.
