2011 CCA Manual, Impressions?

[jkumpire]

I assume some of you have already gotten your hands on the new CCA manual, mine came today. What is your opinion of the implementation of the 20 second rule?

IMO, it sounds like a mess to me, esp. if you have no visible clock and a 2 man crew.

I am also curious, the NCAA folks are making this into a huge deal, but in the past several years I've never had any games with massive delays or 40 run games or problem with slow pitches and hitters. Is it so bad in other places that this is as big a priority item as it seems? Or is this just a big deal because of ESPN's coverage of the D1 CWS taking too long?

With the new bats I would think games will be shorter, not longer in the future. Any thoughts?
