Also, items such as Can the coach warm up F1. Pitch count limits etc. etc. that unless you SPECIFICALLY umpire LL you would have no clue about. They were very helpful

The tournament rules are also different. Hey speaking of the tournament where's Dave with his infamous Chart for LL All Stars?

Therefore, in a nutshell IMO it's not about ego but directing posters to the BEST place that can answer their question(s).

Believe it or not, Pete, there are quite a few very knowledgable members here that can and do answer LL specific questions just as well as at any other forum.
