My son coaches JV ball, and is a pretty decent umpire himself. I can't imagine what he's do if umpires just walked off the field in a tie game. Oh wait, yes I can. Folks keep score and standings in JV, too. And sometimes coaches jobs are on line because if it. Unless you have some sort of direction to end the game because it's tied, the default would be to keep playing. I'm sure the coaches were pissed that you guys just walked off, and directed the school not to pay.
