Yes, Alpha. I think I already answered that, and others agreed.

If what you are talking about is a simple reversal of an erroneous call or ruling, there is no time limit other than the continuation of the game. I even gave an example of about the longest delay possible.

And yes, if you are an umpire, you should be very aware of the difference between a protest, an appeal, and a simple request for help - the rules surrounding them are entirely different. Might want to read up on that if you have a chance.

PS - I agree with Dakota, and I'm not even religious.
