Jim,
In my first year back in LL Districts I worked w/ a guy threw back on these occasions and I liked the way it moved the game. It did take a a few innings for the kids to get used to though. I'm going to try to incorporate this next year. I didn't want to make a change in the tourney.

Heck, Bob, I haven't worked a single 60-foot diamond all-star game that lasted more than 1-1/2 hours in over three years.
Our District Final this year was 1 hour and 5 minutes long. The previous game lasted for only 58 minutes.
I would say all-stars can retrieve those balls themselves. We've got to do something to slow the game down!
Sincerely,
Jim Porter
