Everybody does it
In Kentucky, I believe all sports use Arbiter. (I know basketball and baseball do) Part of our state dues go toward the Arbiter user fee. I have no idea how much the fee per official is.

How about FED rules?
Is it a dead ball once the catcher steps into the dugout, with a one-base award? Haven't umpired baseball in a long time and just curious.

I think its so
I seem to remember there is a stipulation that one of the "position" players be designated as an "emergency" pitcher. IIRC, the rationale is to allow a team to save their pitching staff in case of a...

Thank for the info! We wondered if it had something to do with positioning of the offense on the line since we most commonly saw the Linesman (or Line Judge?) do this. Then we saw the umpire with...

Count the basket?
A5 goes up to dunk. Ball hits back of iron and goes straight up in the air. A5 hangs on rim doing a chin-up. Trail whacks A5 with a T for hanging on the rim, then ball goes through the basket. ...
