First things first: I have not umpired, nor will I likely ever umpire, a CWS.
With that said, I have been selected by our state high school governing body to umpire 8 state championships and I will be working my 5th consecutive American Legion regional this year. While I do have a longer fuse in these big games, the fact remains I have had several ejections at both events; when they eject themselves...they eject themselves, period. If they earn the ejection I will eject them. If as a result of that ejection, the governing/organizing body won't have me back, then so be it. I will have my self-respect as an umpire, however.
F1 and F2 both earned automatic ejections. This isn't MLB where you can give an "equipment violation" to keep them in the game. Those actions are automatic heave-ho's from MiLB down to LL.
