Want a bizarre one? Change field size to Pony League®️ dimensions.

75' bases. Not sure of fence distance(s). Fields today meet minimum Little League®️ dimensions, i.e., 60' bases and 200' minimum fences.

Rules Czar for a day

Run rule to 10 runs. Offenses are good enough to make up 8 runs in 2 inn.

Can I get 3? First one is, extend the game to 9 innings.
HolidayInnHokie • 05/26/26 08:12 PM ET
Been involved in the game 30 years. Don't like any of these. That . . .
MidloHokie • 05/27/26 02:46 PM ET
Only translates to more playing time IF coaches play more players
VAHokie89 • 05/27/26 10:44 AM ET
Don't extend to 9 innings.
Atlee Hokie • 05/27/26 07:33 AM ET
What's more important is that in a 7 inning format each AB is more . . . .
MidloHokie • 05/27/26 04:09 PM ET
If I were running college baseball those games would be 7 innings.
MidloHokie • 05/27/26 04:13 PM ET
Extend games to 9 innings and they still finish before the guys.**

Play the extra innings after a run rule. Game over, win/loss in the books,

It'd be interesting if they had the ACC Tournament in a neutral location
RoanokeHokie1872 • 05/26/26 04:13 PM ET
There doesn't need to be a tourney in Boston, or ...
Atlee Hokie • 05/27/26 11:54 AM ET
I would be interested in an in-season ACC "tournament" to get
VAHokie89 • 05/27/26 10:45 AM ET
Discussed previously here. Play in Clearwater the . . .
MidloHokie • 05/27/26 03:00 PM ET
This would be interesting.**
Atlee Hokie • 05/27/26 11:55 AM ET
I could envision teams that were not scheduled during the regular season

It would be interesting to extend the dimensions some.
Atlee Hokie • 05/27/26 12:12 PM ET
Given the explosion of offense, make the run rule more than 8 or at least
VAHokie89 • 05/26/26 02:01 PM ET
Either change the definition of the strike zone, or call it per the rules.**
jokeenan • 05/26/26 01:13 PM ET
can we also throw in enforcing the pitching rules like outside the lane
HokieAllMyLife • 05/26/26 04:17 PM ET
Called per the rules either by human or machine would be great.**
MidloHokie • 05/26/26 01:41 PM ET
Automated ball and strike system, like MLB
Chesapeake_Hokie • 05/26/26 12:47 PM ET
Doubt the money is there for that in softball. It will happen in baseball
