I have a couple of points on this one. First, as a former UIC of a LL association, if you bring to me information that my umpires are misinterpreting a rule I will make sure they know the correct interpretation. Following that, if they continue to purposely call it wrong, those umps will find a drastic reduction in their number of games. Second, I suggest that getting into a rule debate with umpires during a game is counter productive. Giving suggestions on rule interpretations with your line-up card, will only serve to anger the umpires. I don't think this is what you want to do, correct?

Now, you mentioned that your UIC has agreed that a pick-off move from the wind-up position is legal, yet he won't socialize it with the group? If this is the case, perhaps you should contact your District Umpire Consultant?
