I'm not sure that there is an umpire out there that would come to this decision on his own.

Alos, umpires, regarless of their understanding of the rules don't have the ability to suspend someone for a tourney.

This situation was either explained to the tournament committee incorrectly or incompletely, or the committee is taking NOTHING for granted and throwing the book at this kid.

Either way, it's out of the umpire's hands- it's no longer about the call.
