So what do you do if they don't have it? Leave? I'm not trying to be a jerk, just actually curious. My assignor says: just do the game... you'll get paid, don't worry. if the team stiffs us a game fee, they immediately get cut off from getting umpires until they pay up. |

I like the NAIA way better though! There is a 10 run rule unless specified at the pre-game meeting! ![]() Speaking of not calling certain things: How many are diligently enforcing the "No white or grey on the pitchers glove" rule? In Oregon, it has come down that simply rubbing some dirt on the white logo/lettering is enough to change the color for the rule, but I say that is splitting hair, and playing lawyer! I had a coach go ape dukey about that, because it still looked white! Personally, if it looks white to me, that is that! I refuse to use the "rub dirt on it" approach because that is me playing lawyer, and I am told not to do so. ![]() The rule is beyond ridiculous, and I figure by ruthlessly enforcing it, it will eventually get changed back! I played ball for many years, and never once as a batter (who usually hit over .400!) did the glove, the sleeve color, and/or anything on his throwing arm cause me to hit any worse. I have never talked to a player who felt it did either! I am not sure where these kinds of rules come from, but I sure do know it isn't from my area! ![]() |

We're asking the coaches if the players are properly equipped not because of "liability" reasons (I'm an attorney so I can address this) but because otherwise we'd have to do the alternative of CHECKING each player's equipment. Asking puts the onus on the coach so that if there is a challenge on equipment or uniforming during the game the coach is on the hook.
I had long ago grown tired of checking soccer player's shoes and shin guards and wish we had that asking rule in FED soccer when I was doing it. |
