Right. I think that the bottom line is that if it's well-known IN WRITING in advance that all bat restrictions are off, you, the umpire, are off the hook. You are following the procedures set forth by the tourney, so it won't be your butt in the Defendant's chair if something should happen involving a Freak Plus.

Was it any different from their usual confused looks?

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
