They explained which situations would be reviewable and which would not and why. LL officials explained that umpires did not have to be intimidated by video replay that was a tool for umpires as much as it was for managers to get plays right. We viewed the manner in which video replay was conducted in the 2010 Series and what changes were made to the procedure. It is in no way meant to undercut or demean any participant in the LLWS. As a matter of fact managers, coaches, players and umpires are instructed to reserve any emotional reactions to the result of a replay challenge (no cheering or fist pumping).
