#1 on this list is the most important by far.
This past weekend during the first game of the series on the first fly ball of the game there was a ball hit where F8 turned toward U1 and ended up crashing into the wall and dropping the ball. U3 felt that U1 was reading too long and thought he wasn't going to go out so he did, just as U1 started out. So now we have 2 going out, after 4-5 hard steps out, U1 turned to read U3 and saw that he was headed out, U1 then raced for the 3rd base coaches box and got there just in time for the play. This is wrong and not the way the CCA covers it or says it should be done. A mistake was made, but no one except the 3 umpires and probably the evaluator know that it was made because we made eye contact and everyone kept umpiring. U1 enjoyed several adult soda's that evening compliments of U3.
