Peter you said:

"Gee this isn't about whether we should call TIME during live action or not. We all know TIME shouldn't be called but the fact is it was."

Then you quoted the rule:

"OBR 5.02 After the umpire calls "Play" the ball is alive and in play and remains alive and in play until FOR LEGAL CAUSE the umpire's call of "Time" suspending play, the ball becomes dead." My emphasis.

So you say we all know the umpire shouldn't have called time. Then you quote OBR 5.02 that says ....until FOR LEGAL CAUSE the umpire's call of "Time" suspending play. I say it wasn't called legaly.

There are only certain times the OBR allows you to call time and I've never seen a rule that says you can call time iduring live ball action. Sorry, I'm giving him first.

The ball might become immediately dead on a balk in FED but when you quote OBR rules to make your point leave FED to rest. I don't do and never will do FED. In OBR a balk is NEVER an immediate dead ball. Different folk different stroke. G
