On the inside, and umpire can attain a better angle at 1b & 2b easier (one of your favorite incentives ) simply because the available paths to get an angle. Do you sacrifice distance for angle? Every time it is necessary to see the call.

Tell you what. You work a game on a 60' diamond, I'll work one on an 80' diamond (and yes, I've done' this a few times). FP or SP, you choose, and I'll bet I attain as good a position on every play as you, run less and not miss a call.

Look, you don't like ASA mechanics, fine, don't work ASA. And as much as you think they are antiquated, I can assure you that with 45 years of experience in baseball and softball, there is nothing hard or inhibiting about them. NCAA has a limited market and believe what they use works for their game. That's fine, too.

BTW, to those going to OKC, you may be find one of the subjects quite interesting.
