Ejected fan

[SamG]

Daughter played in our first tournament yesterday. NSA rule set. Late innings of a game we're winning 6-3(?). A fan makes a comment to the PU that our coach is delaying the game and shouldn't be allowed to. I don't hear anything else and all of a sudden look up just as the fan throws an umbrella against the fence toward the umpire (the fence was the only thing separating fan & ump).

PU ejects the fan. As I'm walking to my car following the game, I see the ejected fan sitting down the LF fence (about even w/left fielder, maybe a little deeper).

We played the same team a couple hours later and I see the fan sitting in the bleachers. We had different umpires by that point.

My question is... I thought if someone was thrown out (coach, player, fan), a) they had to leave the complex (sit in the parking lot?) and b) are not allowed to return. Obviously, even though this was a small tournament (only two fields), that's kind of hard to regulate short of the umpire letting organizers know, and that's even an iffy thing.

Not that I'm planning on ever getting thrown out, but this is the first time I've seen a fan ejected.

Same game, that team had two ~10yo boys running the scoreboard. Umpire called a strike 3 to end an inning. One of the boys started criticizing the call. I'm not talking a "normal" fan reaction, I'm talking repeated comments on how the ump blew the call. I was kind of surprised PU didn't ask for an adult to run the scoreboard.
