JEL,
This is an experience to say the least, I have experienced the honor of acting as the UIC for the State Tournament held in Savannah and the athletes take it just a serious any other group we umpire.
I strongly suggest if possible anyone umpire the Special Olymics leagues and tournaments, however a word of caution, the biggest trouble you can get into is cutting slack, the athletes don't want it, don't expect it and youwill be accused of "cheating for the other team" should you make allownaces not in the rules of the league or tournament.
Glad you had the oppoortunity and are spreading the word about an excellent experience.
