NCAA mechanics for 2016
Did NCAA change any positioning for base umpires this year? I was looking at a couple of questions from the quiz for this year and two questions asked this. Any help? Dave

I haven't received my CCA book yet, that would address this question.

BTW, did this in a game or two last fall and all it does is take time and make BU run farther to position. :rolleyes: |

I find it ridiculously amusing that any association has ever bothered with this. IMO, off the lines in the IF worked well for everyone. |

NCAA also changed the preferred distance for force play depth to 18-21 feet (previously 15-18). |

The NCAA just seems to have to change something all the time. I agree with Irishmafia, this make no difference. I have been umpiring for over 20 years, and cannot hardly ever remember having an issue between innings. And yes, it added 8-10 more step to your game every half inning.

Edit: This was communicated at the NCAA clinics as 18-20 ft. NCAA Central Hub Link: http://sup.arbitersports.com/Groups/...nic%20%233.pdf It is not in the CCA manual, though. |
