ASA Slow Pitch End of Play?

[Dukat]

I have noticed that depending on which umpire I have at the game they have differing views on when to stop play. I have taught my girls to stop the lead runner and make sure she gets back on the base and then the umpire always stops play. But I have noticed some umpires that stop play as soon as anyone in the in-field has control of the ball. I just found in

R10 S8 I - "When in the judgement of an umpire, all immediate play is apparantly completed, the umpire should call time."

But I have had them call time when my girls were off the base. How can all apparant play be completed with players off the base?

Opinions?
