  • Safeshell Warning Tracks Enhance Artificial Turf Baseball Field
    Safeshell is the low maintenance organic infill option made of 100% USA-grown walnut shells. Safeshell is a patent-pending infill crafted from a blend of well-rounded Black walnut shells and English walnut shells that results in the perfect balance of firm and fast for player-friendly fields. Warning tracks should look, feel, and sound different. Use Safeshell® here Safeshell Warning Tracks with a slit turf fiber to accomplish the task. Enhance Artificial Turf Baseball Field Performance and Safety The aptly named warning track has one main purpose: to keep players safe. The surface texture of the warning track is different from that of the main field. As players chase flyballs in the outfield, they feel and hear themselves on the surface of the warning track as soon as they’re on it. The tactile and auditory cues immediately let players know when they’re close to the edge of the field, and a wall or fence, too. Installing a proper warning track is essential to keeping athletes safe while they focus on catching the ball. Safeshell Warning Tracks will Elevate Your Synthetic Turf Baseball Field Design A Safeshell warning track will be a game-changer for your clients seeking optimal safety and performance for their athletes. It’s different from other infill products in five distinct ways. 1 Audible Cue Safeshell has a unique texture that’s leveraged during installation so that players will hear it underfoot as soon as they make contact with it. The sound of cleats on a Safeshell infilled warning track is very noticeable.

If you disagree with a ruling, feel free to email your perspective with supporting rule reference(s) to Dee for reconsideration. If you have a question for possible inclusion, please send it through the “Ask Dee” feature of the SUP ArbiterSports website. The Approved Rulings (A.R.) will help you be softball wise; the softball whys provide some insight as to the rationale for a particular rule. Dee Abrahamson, NCAA Softball Secretary Rules Editor Rules A.R. Rules: A number of NCAA umpires are being assigned to an NCAA team versus an international team (Japan, Netherlands, Toyota’s Women’s team). Do NCAA rules apply to these contests? Can coaches mutually agree to alter specific rules? Also, do we check bats from just the NCAA team or must their opponent comply with the equipment standards as well? RULING: All competition involving an NCAA institution must be played under NCAA playing rules (See Rules in introduction) so whether the opponent is an international team or belongs to a rival organization (for example, NAIA, NJCAA institution), umpires will not need to learn and enforce different rules or mechanics in order to officiate the game and NCAA teams will not have to own additional equipment. SOFTBALL WHYS- Why is there a difference between no restrictions on the number of innings in a scrimmage and a ten inning limit in a contest in the non-championship season? RULE FOUNDATION- A.R.
