This is cool. He'll be so confused when we're done with him.

As soon as I read that, I thought, "Yeah, he'll get an answer and then some." We could get this to 3 or 4 pages if we tried.

Or, we could use Ives' technique and tell them to buy the video and be done with it.

Yes, I saw your smiley.

Buying and watching the video would probably teach them better that having them try to figure it out from reading the posts by a myriad of folks with varying writing skills and rule understandings.

But then because they're in a youth league the newbe umpires they'll get could probably use a copy too.

Considering the seemingly conflicting and certainly confusing information he'll get in this thread, that might well be the best approach.
