LBR and the parameters surrounding that rule have nothing to do with this.

It's a safety rule (and nothing more)
Rule 3 - EQUIPMENT
Sec.6: PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT f. Helmet (...) 2) Deliberately wearing the helmet improperly or deliberately removing the helmet during a live ball play, except on a home run hit over the fence, and seen by the umpire as a deliberate act shall cause the violator to be declared out immediately. The ball remains live. EXCEPTION 6-f-2: If a thrown or batted ball contacts the deliberately removed helmet, the ball becomes dead and runners must return to the last base held at the time of such contact. NOTE: Calling a runner out for removing a helmet deliberately does not cancel any force play situation. This is ISF. See what? You cannot find this ruling under Rule 8. Nothing like 'Runner is out when...' That do MEANS something to me. Ciao

I could understand if this was youth ball, but I don't see why this rule has to exist at the adult level. They can wear jewlery, don't have to wear face masks or chin straps. What's up with this one?

Yea right ISF dont allow jewellery . At the last mens series in NZ it was like a jewellery shop at times on the diamond . Your rule as per out for removing a helmet was as I noted and it should be seeing as also am under ISF rules . The fact that there was no play is the crap call . Any one from your way going to the World series women . One of my felow Umps that I work with every week heads that way soon to Bejing |

YES there will be an italian umpire in WC2006: he's a good one and a good teammate also. Ask Wayne Saunders about Gianluca Magnani: we all three were together at Europe-Africa Olympic Qualifier Tournament 2003, Macerata, Italy. In my opinion we're going to have a terrific tournament in Bejing, with very good national teams and a good good good 'Blue Team' also. Greetings from Italy to NZ friends! Saluti!
