“The changes of previous rules that have adopted the Joint Committee of Competition have had the power to permanent and created impulse for the game,” he said in a statement. “We use the same process with ABS that began listening to fans, performing extensive tests at the level of minor leagues and trying in each step to improve the game. Throughout this process, we have worked on the implementation of the system in a way that is acceptable for the players. The strong preference of the players for the challenge format about the use of technology to call each launch was a key factor in determining the system that we announced today.”
