I was minding my own business, enjoying my break at 3B in a 3 man crew during a recent tournament game. We had a pregame but it was not extensive and we did not discuss UIC, me assuming the PU is the UIC. Then we had a situation, a runner awarded home, who should clearly not have been. I called time, had a meeting with my partners and convinced them the ruling was incorrect. The PU, the UIC, then explained the change to the coach who was putting his runner back on 3B. I went back to my rocking chair. I was the senior official, I was the only one who had the ruling correct, but I was not the UIC. We are a team and the team must perform well together.
