Everything you say in your post is right, Tim, and I agree.

But in this particular sitch, the obviously subpar umpire DID ask for help. I have no problem with any complaints regarding this umpire, and agree he needs to be reported to his assignor. But whether he was right or wrong, bad or good, clumsy or inadequate, he DID ask for help.

And scyguy left him out to dry on principle. (And states that he would leave his best friend, the best umpire on the planet, or me out to dry in this sitch too.)

That's where I have the problem.

So, Tim - do you leave partner out to dry, or do you tell him what you see, and then either fix him or tell the assignor he needs fixing later?
