Don't forget the most important trait of all. You must be a MASOCHIST.

This thread has no point. This topic contributes nothing to help other umpires, or, as Tee would put it, WOBW.

Excellent observation.

Now, then, combining the conflicting opinons from another WOBW thread by Rich, should young Dan have the right to delete it? The answer would then resolve a WOBW question in a WOBW thread using positions posted in different WOBW thread.

I like to break the umpire's responsibilities into 3 different categories:
1) Making judgement calls
2) Knowing and enforcing the rules
3) Maintaining the safety and sportsmanship of the game
