As much as we don't like to admit it, we have to look to some of our competitors, and they have thriving "E" classifications. Question is: why?

Because they allow teams to determine classification

Do you know if that's why that verbiage was removed to begin with? Seems like a reasonable explanation to me.

Probably because somewhere along the way it was determined unnecessary. I don't know of many circumstances where enforcing a rule properly would prove positive for the offender. And remember, we are not talking would've, could've, should've here and that is where I see this going.

I can see this becoming an issue every time there in INT and the defense subsequently turns a double play. Pretty soon every call will be a DDB with a manager's option. That may be good for a neighborhood whiffle ball game, but, IMO, not for the game of organized softball.
