Looks like you are the only official in the country able to comprehend this rule "correctly" then.

I'll use this "comprehension" for other instances as well. Next time I notice a batting out of order, unreported substitution, or even a runner missing a bag, I'll simply rule on it without being prompted by the opposing team.

EsqUmp - Does the term "protestable situation" mean anything to you?
