Though if consistency between FP, MP and SP is an eventual goal, then it would be nice to have either everyone switch to B, or have SP switch back to A.
Consistency with FP was the "excuse" for the SP PU to drop to the set position at the pitch's release instead of first determining legal/illegal.

Consistency is something that belongs within the game, not necessarily among the games. While I don't have a problem with maintaining standard mechanics for softball in general, each game has different demands and should be officiated accordingly.
