That seems to make a lot of sense. I know there are many multi-use fields in my area. Most varsity teams have a dedicated field, but JV & Freshmen might play most anywhere.
We had a tournament last year that was ASA. I had a couple of games on a field that had a PP at 40', but we had 16U games. We couldn't pull up the existing PP because it was anchored in cement. Someone came up w/ one of those temporary PPs and we used it. I was concerned about where the pitchers' would have to stride and if the plate at 40' would be a distraction at best and a hindrance at worst. Both teams' pitchers tried some pitches and they thought it would be OK. Not my preferred solution.
I think we're going to have more issues like this this season. One field could require PPs at 40, 43, 46, and 50 feet.
