2011 CCA Manual, Impressions?

JK,

You don't umpire in the PAC 10.

Four hour nine inning games are normal.

There is a "pace of play issue" in the West.

This is off the topic of clocks, but....

They switched it now in the 3-umpire system so that U1 is on the line with R2 or R2/R3 and two outs. They also said that on a base hit, U1 only has plays at first and U3 takes all plays at second and third. We were taught at a clinic this fall that U1 would take the BR into second if he advanced there and U3 would have all plays at third.

What do you guys think of this?

I don't get a vote, so I'll work as I'm asked to work.

If I was given a vote, I would have voted against this change.

You don't like putting U1 back on the line with two outs, or you don't like the mechanic on a base hit?

I really like putting U1 back on the line FWIW.
