Thanks everyone, points well taken.
RP, Ozzi, in my past experiences of discussing rules prior to a game you are indeed correct that most umps don't like it unless you agree with their interpretation. My UIC suggested it and it didn't work to well. I don't try to force feed them my side because it makes matters worse. I can't figure why the UIC doesn't want to tell his umps the ruling but I won't give up getting it done. On the coaches side, i'd say 95 percent or more of them don't know this rule either. There was a few of them in the stands when I tried it and they all thought it's a balk. But they also know I wouldn't try it if I hadn't checked it out first. The District Ump might be there, he has been in the past so I'll be sure to bring it up. If he's not I'll still bring it up.
Thanks
