All of us have entered the chat.

So I stumbled upon a locked Trackman thread from approx 7 years ago. The cost seems to be about the same. What, if anything has improved over the last 7 years?

So it seems as though they're now selecting the Omaha umpires after Regionals. Maybe it's more the change in timing than anything else. You could have an easy or hard regional...that's how umpiring goes! The timing of that gets really interesting for guys who may have less flexible jobs...though to be able to work an aggressive D1 schedule you pretty much have to have that regardless. What do you think of the new process?

That's what ours is too. A game fee.

I feel like this has run its course. Happy New Year everyone!

I don't blame them. Why not?

This right here. Probably the most overlooked part of rule study.

I feel like another reason they're cleaning this up is for the hidden ball trick.

Here's another one... Must declare windup in MLB...not required in amateur leagues...but the pitching motion must be legal.

Yeah, that makes sense. In some parts of the country, they're unable to fill the schedule with three umpires, even though it has been approved for many years. Many D2 games get played with two instead of three due to the travel and low pay.

We 100% enforce it during the regular season in our games. (Am Legion)

Yep! There's another one!

So many things. I get that it's an opt in deal...but goodness...when will it stop...carrying two timing devices on the field is crazy. (Yes, I know...not judging you or any umpire)...just the processes from up above.

Good ones...thanks!

I feel like that's how it will be applied, but I would like to avoid the term malicious.
