With one umpire you can steal with impunity. Slappers can run out of the box. Etc. etc. So it goes both ways.Games with one umpire will not know the difference. Now or then.
just returned from USSSA National Convention, and with all the discussion that took place, I would bet they they will allow in 2022. Watch for it very soon.It seems like such a small percentage of teams play strictly USA softball. In fact, I don't know of ANY that only play USA events. Most don't care if they play USA, PGF, USSSA, etc. And the prestige of playing ASA/USA Nationals has taken a backseat to all kinds of other "Nationals". The college ranks will meet and vote on this in early December. If they approve it, there will still be a 2 year wait until it's officially legal in college ranks. Even then, that will only be NCAA. There's still NAIA, JuCo, and others. NAIA has considerably different rules on things than NCAA, so there's no guarantee they will adopt it. Now, I realize NAIA games aren't on TV. But there's still a lot people here who's kids go to those schools.
With all of that said, I do believe the others will follow eventually but they will take their cue from what the college outcome is. I wouldn't recommend changing your pitching coaching or actual pitching solely because USA softball did. It will only lead to problems if you play another sanction's tournament.
