Actually, it was nothing like that at all. The players in this tournament were largely very respectful and were not argumentative. I only had one player give me "the look" on a strike that hit the back 1/4" of the mat during a 50 AAA game.
We had some issues with players trying to bring in banned bats, but the players complied without issue. We instructed them to take them to their cars, which they did.
None of what you described really happened in this National. It all went very well, and it really was enjoyable. The UICs treated us all very fairly, and I think we all had a good time calling games.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
