Although I agree that the exact plays may not happen on your field, the principles involved are wide-ranging. I try to choose an interpretation that gives one a different angle on a rule. I try to make everyone look at certain rules, rules they may be taking for granted, to hopefully make them look at it in a way they never have before.

My biggest hope for the Interp of the Week is that umpires will expand on the situations posted, create even more circumstances under which the interp could apply, and gain a knowledge and understanding of those rules that they never had before.
