I have worked U for 6 years...

...and in that time, I have signalled a TD only once. That happened during an fumble recovery that was recovered in the endzone. The wings were still looking at the pile and the situation was a...

Cool Which code are we using?

In FED, I believe the ctach is awarded if it was ruled to be made with at least onefoot in the field of play. Runners are awarded one base if there are less than two outs when the player leaves the...

I ump both sports...

The softball rules DO NOT give any leeway or caveats in this case.

The thing is, first base was occupied. Why was B1 running to first, was it less than 2 outs? If so, the runners must return to...

...I'm sure glad I didn't hafta see anything like this during the last 10 years.

I agree with your rule of thumb on the wingman thing. We do that too.

The rule has different stipulations for offense and defense, but it's always a live ball foul.
