We should try not to lean too hard on rule 10. I know some umpires (not saying you are one), and have read others here, who seem to think rule 10 gives them authority to invent rulings on things that ARE covered in the book. Rule 10 really should only be used when the event in question TRULY is not covered in the book. I suspect 1 time per year per umpire is too often.
