ABOUT NSA RULES
NSA Canada prides itself in having the only Rule Book that includes rules for 7&3 6&4 5&5, men’s, women’s, and slo-pitch. Each sanctioned team will receive an Official NSA Canada Rule Book as part of the sanction BENEFITS. NSA Canada realizes that each individual league & tournament has their own special rules, so we do not require them to play by our exact rules. Please remember in umpired leagues, the individual umpires are trained by our rule book, so the closer the league follows the rulebook, the less chance of the umpire not knowing the correct rule.RULE INTERPRETATIONS
