Dave E:
This thread [PO from WU]; appeal play mechanics: all reason #4 [inconsistent/ inadequate training of officials, lack of confidence in judgment].
The FED appeal is a great example: it is virtually impossible for an umpire [no matter how clueless] to FUBAR the proceedural req's - all that's left is: did you see it? As you note, it is still possible for the teams to blow it, but that's a different subject.
