Actually, adding this to Men's Slow Pitch in our league has made the games more exciting and has required defensive players to pay more attention, all the time. Umpires, also. No longer can a team put a player that doesn't catch well and doesn't throw well at catcher! We've had very few problems, thus far. I agree regarding two umpires: we usually have two per game; but, on some occasions have to work alone.
It's funny. A lot of our players in Women's Slow Pitch are unhappy that the new rule only applies to the Men's league. They would like to "spice" up their games a little, too.
