Judgement & Judgement Calls - Defined?

If you're determining what happened, that's a judgement decision. It is sacrosanct, inviolable, inarguable, final.

Once you've decided what happened, then you decide what to do about it. That's the application of the rule. That decision is protestable.

Good definitions... I'll steal them for training.

As JP says... and others.. at the LIMIT (theoretical) all calls are "judgment" since one can argue they are simply blind, innattentive, or stupid.

The dropped ball sitch:
"Actually, he wasn't actually engaged on the rubber, thus..
or how about, "That ball never hit the ground, it levitated and returned to the pitcher's hand."
