Sec. 6. UMPIRE’S JUDGEMENT. There will be no appeal from any decision of any
umpire on the grounds that he/she was not correct in his/her conclusion as to whether a
batted ball was fair or foul, a baserunner safe or out, a pitched ball a strike or ball, or on
any play involving accuracy of judgement; and no decision rendered by any umpire will
be reversed, except when he/she is convinced it is in violation of one of these rules. In case
the manager, captain or either team does not seek reversal of a decision based solely on
a point of rules, the umpire, whose decision is in question, will, if in doubt, confer with
his/her associates before taking any action. But under no circumstances will any player
or person, other than the manager or captain of either team, have any legal right to protest
any decision and seek its reversal on a claim that it is in conflict with these rules.
a. Under no circumstances will any umpire seek to reverse a decision made by his or
her associates; nor will any umpire criticize or interfere with the duties of his or her
associates, unless asked to do so.
b. The umpire-in-chief may rectify any situation in which the reversal of an umpire’s
decision or a delayed call by the umpire places a batter-runner, a baserunner, or the
defensive team in jeopardy. This correction is not possible after one pitch has been
thrown.
From the 2006 PONY Rules Book, page 99.
