Mark,

As everyone has pointed out, your rules application is exactly correct. Your sanity, on the other hand. . .

Can you talk privately with the guy who was giving the rules "clinic"? If so, you could show him the relevant rule and case. Then he could pass it on to everybody at the next meeting.

If you can't talk privately with him, or if he is not receptive to being corrected, then I don't think that it would be out of line to bring in a copy of case play and/or the rule reference for each of the officials in the league. You could hand it out so everybody could see for himself. Just make a few xeroxed copies.

The only danger is that you could be perceived as a know-it-all or trying to show somebody up. We know that's not true, but you never know who's going to get bent out of shape.

Chuck
