But for the rest of teh association, they are going to wait until there is a written version of it presented (per our UIC).
There is resistance but also ready acceptance. As I feared, the lazy umpire has become even more lazy but there is hope that it will change.
I'm going to institute the mechanic into our Championship Play and encourage the locals to put it in place ON AN EXPERIMENTAL basis.

I will be more than happy to collect feedback from this season and pass it on to Henry.
