[B]Some of the proposed changes for ASA FP & general rules:

JO Ball

Another change is to allow the runner to leave the base in FP when the ball leaves the pitcher's hand OR "when the pivot foot leaves the pitching plate on the delivery."

I don't like the sound of this. It is easy to enforce the rule as it is, because it is black and white, but this proposed change seems to add a little more confusion to it all.

There is a change requesting the reinstatement of an interference call when a batter not entitled to advance to 1B on a D3K runs toward 1B. The reasoning is that the defense shouldn't bear the responsibility of the rule and that it can give the offense an unfair advantage.

IOW, the defense isn't smart enough to know the situation.) I agree...

Change DEFO to FLEX because a DEFO can play offense and defense.

I disagree with this because I don't believe the DEFO is still the DEFO when they are in the offensive line up. Isn't that why the proposed name change?

The clock on a time-limit game begins at the end of the pre-game meeting at the plate.

I like this one, but then again, that's because it is my proposal I like this one too. This is the way I usually do it anyhow.
