you are right -
akalsey - you are correct, these umpires are crap, as are a lot of little league umpires. That is why around here, they do not do tournaments. We (and all other leagues around) get high school and other certified umpires. I work most little league games, and I am certified, so I have been getting calls left and right this week asking me to work the games. When I show up to do it, I have a lot of LL umpires ask me questions that they should know the answer to. They are simply not very good, YET.
I will not hold the fact that they are not very good against them, as that is where I started, as did everyone else. They have simply not been doing it as long as the better umpires.
Maybe you should have stuck around after the game and told the guys what they did wrong and why, I am sure they would have appreciated it.
