Did this film go to the Texas State High School Athletic Association? What did they rule? If they agreed with how the umpires handled this, then they do not care to enforce the player leaving the bench rule which seems to be in conflict with what everyone says the FED does care about in these situations.
If they saw the film and thought the game should be a double forfeit and overruled the umpires who continued to play like a pro game, then the State and the FED would have spoken that they wanted the player leaving the bench rule enforced and therefore without enough players left to play, the umpires could now call a double forfeit in the future.
How the State and Fed step to the plate on these instances, tells the umpires how to step up in these instances.
Since this was in 2008, how did the State say to handle this in 2009?
