AZ is using the DP/FLEX rule experiment this year. I have done 8 games so far and seen it used twice. Some comments from coaches are "If you can figure it out, great", "I won't use it", "I am confused by it".
We have a fairly strong ASA program in the Phoenix and Tucson areas, not so much in the rural areas. Most of our umpires in Phoenix and Tucson also do ASA, so the change on the umpire side is not as drastic.
I expect that as the season goes on, more coaches will figure out the flexibility the rule offers and use it more frequently.
