I kept score in a NSA Super men's D tourny this weekend and notice that the umpires where not calling illegal pitch on pitches outside of the limits which is 6' to 10' NSA they would just wait for the pitch to come in then call it a ball and tell the pitcher the pitch was either to high or low but did not gave the delayed signal or call illegal pitch. Had several different umpires come through the field I was working on and all seem to work it the same way but was told later by a director that they should of been announcing illegal just as we do in ASA.
Just wondering if any of you have seen this I understand under U-trip this is the way they do it too.
I also see some good point about not announcing it during a pitch for one on low pitches with some speed it is usally hard to get out in time before the pitch get to the plate also I believe sometimes yelling out illegal during a pitch sometimes confuses the batter and usally if they hit it you have to follow up with a "play it" or the batter sometimes wont run
Anyway just some thoughts
Don
