You should. I'm always willing to bet with anyone on the quality of LL umpires over the course of a season.

I'll give my opponent a dollar for every good one we see, and he gives me a nickel for every bad one we see. I won't win every bet, but I'll walk away with more money at the end of the season.

So I assume you are a coach? How is umpiring your own games going to work out for you? What an arrogant statement to make, and its wrong on so many levels. My only hope is that you were joking.

Bob, in my experience, Publius would make money in such a system. Easily. And possibly never pay out even dollar one.

There'd be a tie every game - the loser would claim the ump was bad and the winner would say he was OK.

I'd take it up with your division rep. Just ask "is the hit batter rule in our local rules? I know it's not a Little League rule, and I'd like some clarification on it".

Let your division rep do their job.

Don't make a big deal of it (it sounds like you didn't, and bravo for you). If your UIC isn't aware of this, going through your rep is probably the best way to go.

Or, you could always lodge a formal protest if it's imposed on you during a game. You have options, but I'd go with the former route first.
