I have no problem with the notion that no protest be GRANTED on judgement calls. While the rule says no protest is to be accepted on judgement calls, it doesn't say by whom. There is a school of thought that says the umpire has the right of refusal. There is another that says that they don't, and a third that says they shouldn't.
Of course, 4.19 says the league sets the procedure so one should really find out what the leagues position is first and follow it.
I just think that, absent a league procedure and as the final decision has been granted to the LP, that it must be permitted to reach him to make the decision that is clearly his.
