| Dec. 13, 2017 AJC Men's 60 218 posts | 1-1 count survey Just got the email this morning for a survey regarding the 1-1 count. This looks like it could happen if there is enough support for it since they have tried it in the 40's division and it sounds like it was well received. The deadline for the survey is Dec 18th so be sure and check your email if this is something you would like implemented. |

This is a "Member Preference Survey" only, the results of which will be among other data and research to be considered by the National Rules Committee during a conference call special session on January 9th ... It's advisory only, and not any sort of binding vote ... Thanks in advance to all who choose to reply ... |
| Dec. 18, 2017 bernie Men's 55 77 posts | Just want to add that I have run senior events and league play, using a 1-1 count without a courtesy foul and found that games are at least 15 minutes shorter on average for me. A combination of hitters looking to put the ball in play and taking a lot less pitches has created an atmosphere where play is really sped up. Since younger kids have been playing this format for years now and as I really think it is the sure fire way to speed up the game. For those who complain that they won't see the pitches they want and expect with a full count, remember the ball is being lobbed at you. Sooner or later it is inevitable we use this format, and I say why not sooner. Maybe let a tournament director or two use it and have the association track it's viability. I will volunteer to do just that in an early pre-season tournament if others want to verify it's usefullness. |
