In one case, the timer was removed from the backside of the backstop, through the fence. The other case was the umpire's partner, disgusted about it being there, removed it off the fence inbetween innings and handed it to me at the dugout opening.
In both cases, I told the umpires that I had the timers, and was being directed to remove them from the fences on the tournaments I was the UIC for. I also told them that the timers were not allowed per the then-Seattle Metro UIC's policy, and reminded them of the general membership meeting where the policy was put into effect. I then explained to them that if they wanted to get the timers back, they needed to explain to the UIC why they so blatantly disregarded his policy, and if he told me to give the timers back, I would.
None ever talked to him about it. And I've never had any more problem with them putting timers up there, or anyone else for that matter.
