This is tangential and not related to the ridiculous claim that you "lost the game for them," but I think the general approach I have seen on this board would tend towards a response like, "that's the ruling, coach, you can file a protest if you want, but let's play ball" rather than to spend that much time on a "rules clinic." Did you deal with the situation as you did because it was younger players and a rec league, or are there other factors that go into the process of deciding how much time to take on an issue like this? Thanks.

Those are by far the worst rec league rules I've ever seen.

TOTALLY AGREE!!! I assign rec ball to one spot and I told them this : I will charge more than your baseball, I will give you better umpires than the last guy and We will not be on the field past 1 hr 45 min. .... I got all of those things... I charge 37 a game .... all the people are HS umpires or better and we have a 130 no new inning 145 drop dead time limit. So you should get ahold of your assignor and tell him to change those REDICULOUS rules. Finally to actually answer the original post: sounds like you did what you should have done. its always easier to blame us rather than themselves or the team.

Even that amazes me. Around here most rec league games are an :55 to 1:15. I know of none that exceed an 1:30 time limit.
