Hi Patrick,

Sorry for the delay, I'm not getting my questions after the last upgrade, I have to check on them manually (I guess).

I've been doing this a long time and I have no idea what the Pete Rose rule is.....sorry.  Are people gambling on the game?

Answer
Hi Patrick,

There is no rule in ASA that you must slide (this sliding rule may be your local league rule.)  There is a rule that you cannot remain upright and chrash into a defensive player.  If you do you are out and will be ejected if it is flagrant.
