So you admit that LL is to lazy to write rules for 10 year olds? They just copy the rules written for 30 year old men and throw in a few changes.
The Federation book has many differences from the OBR becauses it is a completly different book. It was not copied and then changed. The FED knows what the HS game needs, and they write rules accordingly.
You think LL trained umpires are better than guys trained to work HS games? How about you try this out. Take one of those bad FED guys, and stick him on one of those 60 foot LL games. Take one of the good LL only guys, and put him on a HS game.
After watching those 2 games, you will not have the same viewpoint which you have now. The skills needed to work a LL game are far far fewer than the skills needed to work a HS game. That HS umpire may not be the best guy around, but he is still a lot better than a guy who works only 60 foot baseball.
