NYSSO didn't invent working the rim, (don't use "rim" as a verb, google it and see what comes up!) I've beem working the rim for over 5 yrs.
ASA has trained most, if not all, of the softball umpires I know. Their mechanics work. If it ain't broke, don'/t fix it!

They should be teaching 18-21 feet, so that's good. They should not be discouraging walking the line, so that's bad.
I'm glad to hear you work with rim, as that has been a PONY mechanic going on its 8th season.
Carburetors weren't broken, but I prefer fuel injections.
