FED bat rule--what will it be like?

[Patrick Szalapski]

I was not umpiring at the time the FED adopted the -5 bat rule several years ago. Perhaps some umpires who were could share what it was like enforcing that new rule in its first year. Were there a lot of violations? How did it go? I think we can learn from those experiences in enforcing the -3 bat rule better.
