Bad Tourney Director...no soup for you!
How do avoid having our games protested, boys and girls?
Get the call right in the first place. Attention all newbies...slow down. Unless you are the Lone Ranger, a cloud of dust is a bad thing...say, "Let's see the ball." Then make your call.
Remember, rule 14 of umpiring is it looks bad to say "Out! No...safe." If you wind up saying, "Safe!...now, he's (she's) out!" means that they came off the bag and we are one out closer to seeing a new team bat or on our way home.
Be a sportscaster...see the play and tell everyone about it after it's over.
Now, for those idiots running the tourney, Shame on You! No wonder they are begging for umpires every year!
