no courtesy foul

Mike, I agree with you. While the courtsey foul does not entirely defeat the purpose -- since being one called strike away from a K is some incentive to swing, and most of the time the ball stays fair so the courtesy foul does not come into play -- it defeats the purpose to some extent when the courtsey foul is needed.

I played in a 3-2 no courtesy foul league and had no problem as a hitter. IMO, anyone can keep the ball fair in SP. The key is standing far from the plate to avoid getting jammed and pulling it foul.

I agree that ASA should either go to 3-2 or 4-3 starting with 1-1 and have no courtesy foul.
