This SB story, ump should have been at site 1/2 hour before game and handled ALL of this "slide" stuff before hand, as well as any other conflicting rules.If the leagues can't agree, I am darn sure something is agreed upon before starting a game . Like I said before, i do not think ump handled this like a real 'PRO" amatuer ump....

I completely disagree. This is not the umpire's job.
The umpire comes and works a ball game under a particular set of rules. Whatever else these teams play should be left at the gate.
If this is a league or tournament which mixed rules (Forest Gump Ball), it is the administrator's job to insure that all concerned are properly informed. The only thing the umpire should be covering pre-game with the teams is the line-up and ground rules.
