Not that different

FED is really not that different.

There are a few differences, but it is a lot closer to NCAA or NAIA which is where most of the serious ball players around the South advance next.

So, with that in mind, I think its better for the kids to have a lot of the safety rules in place before they get to the next level.

Sure they could clean up some of the editing, but a lot of (no I'll say nearly all of) the changes are really to make it a lot easier for the umpire to enforce the rules.

With case support and all it makes it a lot easier to convince Smitty of the way he should make the call since we know he is NOT going to look at JEA, PBUC, and all of the other books that try to explain the rules etc.,

I just wish they would make it a quicker process to get the rule interpretations in the actual book and case book.

Thanks
David
