Definition of an Umpire

[ozzy6900]

Yup, I've been sent to games as an "elephant hunter" also. And same as DG, nothing ever happens (which is fine by me). I have a reputation of being a decent person but not taking any $hit. I simply let the game proceed to it's own finality. If I have to make a minor "adjustment" to get things back on course, no problem.

Newcomers, please be advised that Tim C., myself and many others that seem to have "trouble free" games are not officiating youngsters. We rarely drop below High School level and that makes a big difference in how the games proceed. I don't think that I would put up with the shenanigans of some of these youth coaches anymore.
