Hey Dave, or Rules committee, there's been a lot of conversation about higher levels playing lower levels and having to spot runs plus only hit there amount of Homeruns.

Just played in a tournament in Prescott where the higher level team spotted 5 runs to the lower level, They then let the teams hit Homeruns at the higher level amount. Also, they played one up when both teams hit the set limit of the higher seed. I then had a thought.

Since, and I believe this, every team in softball, counting AA Teams, can hit more than one homerun, that the homerun rule be changed to this:

Homeruns are set at the lower level Team, with one up from there. I'd even suggest one up for all games, playing same level or not. With the balls we play with and the bats we use, let the guys swing the bat. There's still time for skill hitting in these games.

Hope you'll consider this change.

Speaking of HR's, if there was a progressive HR rule, there would be no need for anything else. If two teams could bang away, they could and if one team had much less power, they could hang with the more powerful team ... again, HR wise.

The one up rule would solve everything. So simple.

I agree with every post I’ve read on this thread. Here’s another good reason, IMO- it would also help when you play at some of these smaller fields like Kingman and some of the BLD fields that play “small” too, especially with the wind blowing out.
