I have noticed that depending on which umpire I have at the game they have differing views on when to stop play. I have taught my girls to stop the lead runner and make sure she gets back on the base and then the umpire always stops play. But I have noticed some umpires that stop play as soon as anyone in the in-field has control of the ball. I just found in
R10 S8 I - "When in the judgement of an umpire, all immediate play is apparantly completed, the umpire should call time."
But I have had them call time when my girls were off the base. How can all apparant play be completed with players off the base?
Opinions?
