The age level was 13-14, FED rules, and the umpire was certified at the state HS level. He claimed that he umps Div I college games, but I found that hard to believe.
I am a parent, but I got to stay after the mass ejection because I was keeping score. I did make a point to note in the book that the 3rd strike was not caught. I became involved in the discussion when the ump approached our coach and myself and tried to explain his call.
In case you are wondering why all of the parents were ejected, one parent (from our team) started questioning the strike zone (stike zone was small, but consistent for both teams). Rather than determine who the culprit was, the ump decided the easiest thing to do was to make everyone leave.
