Well, maybe LL does. I know they go with 6-man for many of their higher-level tournaments.  |
We use 4 umpires for the PIAA (PA state) high school tournament for 4 rounds, and some districts (of which there are 12 in PA) use 4 for championship game.
WBSC uses for 4 umpires as a standard crew, 6 for the finals. Actually, we used an 8 umpire crew on the finals, but one umpire only took substitutions and another umpire was on the pitch clock.
The new NCAA 4 umpire mechanics do not resemble the WBSC 4 umpire mechanics. That's all I'll say about that.
