I believe they are the association of Major League Umpires.
I have no idea who makes or writes their rulings or what authority they carry. I could ask if you'd like. Or you could, I suppose.
I contacted them regarding a "practice" not a rule.
I chose them because Peter's advice was to call the play as it would be called in the major leagues. I guessed that major league umpires would be the ones to contact for that purpose.
If you choose to disregard their comments, that's okay with me. It's not heart surgery here. Nobody's going to die if we disagree. Besides, I'm not the one that said we should always call our games like the pros.
Thanks for your questions.

Garth, please understand that I'm not attemtpting to question the legitimacy of the ruling. It's just that for the sake of our discussions on the board a new kid has joined the block. I'm trying to determine what level of value we should put on their rulings.
What if their rulings disagree with JEA, J/R, or even PBUC?
Which ruling should we consider more "authoritative", especially when we don't know WHO at WUA is presenting these rulings to us?
The question is asked not for sake of argument, but for discussion..................
Where do
YOU value the authoritativeness of their rulings when compared to those listed above?
