I do know that it was not my high school association, because we neither wear numbers or black shirts, plus I didn't recognize anybody. I put a call in to my assignor to see if he knows who these guys are. I'll let you know what I find out.

Dang it! I forgot this was on tonight. I had planned on watching it.

How many umpires did they use - 6?

Looks like 3 man. I was watching LL Regional and wasn't paying much attention to this game.

Correction: It's 4 man.

Hmm...I might know them then (since I umpire in CR a lot)...I'll see if I can find anything out.

Why would they start with one out?

Don't they want runs to score?

yes, but they also want the game to be kept moving, esp when it's a tournament and they want to stay on schedule.

Exactly.

So, start with no outs so we can have a run scored SOONER. Bases loaded is stupid, also (in softball, it is runner on second no outs) why make it EASIER to get a guy out at home? I am not a big fan of tiebreakers, either...but if you are going to do them, they should at least accomplish the goal.

"California" tie-breaker. Ha!

It's been a common practice everywhere in softball for years.

Joe is right: we start with no outs so it's easier to score a run and actually end the game.
