What are the specific differences between Special Olympics softball and regular Olympics softball?

I need to know the SPECIFIC differences and similarites of the rules for Special Olympics softball and regular Olympics softball. Please don't just give a link. I'm not familiar with the regular rules of softball so could you please explain! I'm desperate. I have to write three paragraphs on this.|||Here are some differences between regular Olympics softball and Special Olympics softball.





1) It is the Special Olympics (Sp. Oly.), The game shall last no longer than one and a half hours. That is not the case with regular Olympics softball.


2) In the Special Olympics, the distance from home plate to the pitcher鈥檚 rubber may be modified to a minimum distance of 12.19 meters (40 feet) from the official Olympics distance of 15.24 meters (50 feet).


3) Sp. Oly. rules allow for an extra player (meaning 11 players can bat but only 10 can defense).
