I was there but in a different shirt than my blue one (I coached one of the 16U teams) It seemed to me that most umpires there see 12' a bit lower than we do here but overall they were for the most part consistent with their calls and that is all I could ask. As always when you coach there are some calls you do not like but then again there were some that went the other way too (That is life)
The only problem with officials I had was teams having to wait sometimes an hour or more for officials to come to the field when other officials were waiting to get on other fields. I think the UIC should have done a better job of scheduling but once we got officials I was pleased overall with their performance. Overall I was very pleased with the tournament except for that one area I just mentioned.
