were there any rules proposals to make senior SP more interesting than the losers bracket of a bowlers tournament?

What about removing "elite" status from slow pitch umpires? Thats like an oxymoron or something

Keep that up and you may be declared the board's on-line expert on oxes and morons. After all, experience counts, does it not?

(Yes, I know that should be "oxen", but that just doesn't quite fit the joke)

wrt:
"there was a proposal to change 5.5.A to allow a run to score when the Tie Breaker rule is applied. Presently, a run is only scored when a runner touches 1st, 2nd, 3rd and HP. This just added a sentence to allow the run to count when the runner touches 2nd, 3rd and HP when positioned at 2B as the runner in the application of the TB. The JO committee, whose games is affected by this rule more than any others, reported a "reject" on this proposal. Even through the Playing Rules Committee meeting, council members voted against a change that could not, by common sense or the rule itself, could not be rejected.",

does it count if the runner touches 1st on the way to 2nd?
