Umpire's liabilities

[whiskers_ump]

All of the AFA (American FastPitch Association)
tournaments that I have participated in, qualifiers,
State, and Nationals have full mobile units with
large medical staff at each complex if more than
one is being utilized. Mist tents. Player or an
umpire goes down to heat or injury, it takes about
one (1) minute for someone medically licensed to be
on the spot. Last three ASA tournaments I took
part in, did not even see a first aide station. In
any event do not think that as umpires, [unless
MD, and then they too would probably back off because
of the liability problems] that we should make any
call on whether player(s) continue, unless blook rule
invoked.JMO
