I was there.

Unfortunately, I had to leave before the vote on rule and code changes on Thursday afternoon. I have a list of what passed and what did not, however, I haven't really had a chance to study it yet.

There was a rule proposal to delete the requirement for batting helmet chin straps for JO play, which I believe passed. There was also a proposal to align the ASA hit by pitch rule with all other orgs and eliminate the requirement to make an attempt to avoid a pitch that is within the batter's box. This proposal passed every committee, and was then defeated on the floor...I'm still trying to find out what happened there.

There was also much discussion about a proposed realignment from 15 regions down to eight regions, with a map and everything. There was no legislative proposal to be voted on, just distribution of the map and much discussion in committees.

I will get an update on the rule changes together and post it
