In my observations on the subcommittees I observed, it will probably pass.

The other rule changes I think need to happen that now look like they won't are 43' for 16U FP, and a 10 second rule for batters.

To those of you unfamiliar with the process, the proposed rule changes go through numerous subcommittees. On Wednesday, proposed playing rule changes go to the Playing Rules Committee and propsed Code changes to the Legislative Committee. Each of those committees present a "Consent Agenda" of recommendations to the full council, after hearing the subcommittee recommendations (but not required to agree or adopt those opinions).

On Thursday, the full council (about 280 voting members, right now) will vote; but, it requires a 60% plus 1 majority to override the recommendations of the "main" committeess. There are 70 votes on the Playing Rules Committee (I am one); there are 63 votes on Legislative.
