Impressive. But it is still not clear that judgement is eliminated. "A graphical rendering of the pitch and its placement in the strike zone appears...". Does that mean an umpire still makes the determination? How is the strike zone determined, particularly the vertical? Do you measure the strike zones of the players before the game? If so, how is that matched up with the photos? -- Erik Reuter http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
