I can understand the FED wanting a defined mechanic, it is so very corporate of them. I work with umpires in the EU countries where there is a lot of young-old partners and a shortage of officials. My opinion is, and remains after many years, this should be left to the umpires in their pregame. There are many umpires, perhaps some on this forum who couldn't make it from A to C on an overthrow past F1 to cover third.

One of the things I suggest to relieve this problem is to have BU start in B.

Mechanics are only as good as the individual health and mobility of the officials anyway.
