Yep,
In my area it is possible for an umpire to work 17 different leagues. It would be impossible for an umpire to know every, as you call it, "league rule", be it fencing in front of a dugout or white shirts in centerfield.
An umpire is directed to umpire by a set of rules. If we are working a FEDlandia game then we work FED rules. How could an umpire have any liability for calling a game by the prescribed rules?
Just a question . . .
