Alos, umpires, regarless of their understanding of the rules don't have the ability to suspend someone for a tourney.
This situation was either explained to the tournament committee incorrectly or incompletely, or the committee is taking NOTHING for granted and throwing the book at this kid.
Either way, it's out of the umpire's hands- it's no longer about the call.

There are certain tournaments that prescribe a mandatory removal for the remainder of the event should an ejection occur. I'm not debating the validity of the ejection. What we've been trying to impart to SA is that the only rules set that allows for an out to be called for a carelessly discarded bat is Dizzy Dean youth baseball.
