Well i was doing a LL Softball Tourney which the rules were about half-arsed..but anyways they had 7-11yr olds on the same team, so it would be about the Minor Division. We'll I did the plate and I know i wasnt doing well. But Sunday I was the plate ump for a Major Softball district championship and I did exellent. But Tuesday was different. My zone was the problem. We were asked to call a generous strike zone for this level of play. My zone was about from Shins to neck; batterbox to batterbox. Only one of the coaches was fussing about it though; after I called a girl out on strike 3 to end an inning. I ignored him and he went away. I mean, it was consistant for both teams. But I knew I have done better, even my partner said I called strikes that bounced over the plate! But what do you do when none of the pitchers can get it right over the plate? I had to call strikes. The home team (whos manager wanted to argue strikes) lost, the game went the full 6 innings, and took 2 1/2 hrs! Game started about 6pm and I got out of the park about quarter of nine. Whats your thoughts in a situation like this? (BTW, i do not wanna do this tourney again; atleast not softball)
I just dont know about this game.
