OK, the umps blew it. If they are volunteers, then they have a reason. If your league is paying them, then they have no excuse for blowing this.
No league can have a "made-up" rule for the 10 run mercy. It is either adopted or not. No in between. Obviously it was adopted.
This should go to a board for determination. Protest should be upheld and game played from point of protest.
Now, there are many people that don't umpire, but know what a good umpire is. Just because they don't put on the "blues" doesn't mean they aren't knowledgeable. That is real pompous thinking. There are moms in the stands that know more than some of the umpires that I have worked with.
Don't ever think that just because someone where's a title deserves the title. Let's take our selected clergy as an example.
