And I'm going to get my money one way or another.

The only issue I would have is did you not agree to the terms before the contest what was to happen? I have worked JV games where the terms were very clear they were not playing more than a few innings. But then I ask if they expect to play "extra" based on the score. Really no one here can say what you should or should not do unless they are in your area and are aware of the standards. I do agree, this was a JV game and right or wrong it means nothing. And it is not uncommon in my experience that coaches want to get out of there more than the umpires. I just think the expectations should have been clear before the game and then you would have probably a better case.
