Mine, too, although I'm actually more concerned with the hundreds of umpires locally than with your 30K nationally, along with the coaches who will only pick up the high points of the rules changes, and some of those will be second or third hand.

On the face of it, removing "intent" means this includes "accidental" and "unintentional." That is the way far too many will believe the rule to be, and therefore start looking for dodgeball outs.

This change, and the inability to deal with the chaos at 18U with pitching distance, has convinced me that the rules changing process at ASA is broken.
