That's exactly why I brought it up. I was working a league's championship game last week and getting a LOT of grief about one pitcher consistantly "hitting the ceiling". I wasn't calling any IP's on him. In about the 3rd inning, I used the 2006 mechanic, and holy $h!t... those pitches were well above 12 feet.
(Consequently, my next issue was trying to tell that F1 why I was now calling IP's more often. He finally brought them down.)
