I have my thoughts on this. Yours?
They came up with this after checking a rule book? Wow! I have to agree with Tee on his selection process. That actually seems to be a very good way to get a solid crew. Seems to me, the members of this crew were neither top notch field/game management umpires nor rules guys. To make matters worse, their reading comprehension skills are seriously lacking as well. Wow! I know I am not even close to being ready for State Playoff games yet, but after reading this thread, maybe I ought to give myself a little more credit. Wow!
