Let me add on, too (assuming it was a tournament UIC).
Many times, in local tournaments, the UIC is one of the "more senior" umpires in an association. That isn't always a good rules person; sometimes is no more than the glorified assigning or booking person. And this person, by virtue of his seniority, probably knows even less about the 10U special rules than the newbies who are always working it. It's a shame, but most won't even look at those special rules.
