Thanks, Ron
I cannot speak for the UIC who issued this for ChessRef. For me, it is an umpire who "races" as if they are trying to beat the runner or throw. In some cases, it places the umpire in a position which makes it difficult to adjust to a problem which could be caused by a number of things including an errant throw.

Getting to the right spot with the ability to deviate in any manner necessary to make the correct call is what I want to see from an umpire.
