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 think there was something about positioning at 2nd in 3 ump.

Second thought. It is about between innings, both BU in CF I think.

Between inning mechanics changed (U1 is in line with 3rd/2nd base; U3 in line with 1st/2nd base) and calling distance for a tag play (now 8 to 12 feet).

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

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).

I find that such a worry isn't worth the toothpick on which a coach is chewing compared to the possible benefit available to a crew of umpires who can routinely communicate during a game.

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.

This did not change.....calling distance for force play is still 15-18ft.

Never a big fan of a "calling distance" being specific, but more of guide to keep one from getting too close to a play

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.
