If Babe Ruth wants decent umpires, we have dozens of NCAA umpires with no Babe Ruth certification who would do one or two games. They would do a better job than their so called certified umpires anyway. NCAA rules are 99% in accordance with Babe Ruth (Babe Ruth plays with OBR which is very close to NCAA.) Almost all NCAA umpires that I know are familiar with OBR. The ones that aren't don't know NCAA either. They just fake it and count on their partner to bail them out.

Yes, and I assume you live in a more populated area that has more umpires. I don't think we have any guys that are NCAA certified around here. We barely have enough to cover high school games. And most of the guys that call Babe Ruth, etc., around here are just local, off-the-street guys that want a little drug money or drinking money. They don't know the rules, they don't care, they just want their $20 so they can go buy some booze.
