Offensive conference rule change proposal

Jimmy031,000+ posts

Proposed for FED 2013

Modify: ...Each team, when on offense, may be granted ~~not more than one charged conference per inning~~ three offensive conferences during a seven inning game in order to permit the coach or any of that team's personnel to confer with base runners, the batter, the on-deck batter or other offensive team personnel. In extra inning games, each team shall be permitted one charged offensive conference per inning. The umpire shall deny any subsequent offensive team requests for charged conferences.

Rationale: This change will speed up pace of play by limiting offensive time outs just for the sake of taking them when an defensive team gets two quick outs in an inning.

I've never seen this to be an issue. Have others?

The rationale of the coach proposing the rule change kind of hints that it is designed to disrupt the other coach's strategy. Dumb reason for a rule.

I have not allowed this to become an issue.
