And the answer is .............

Umpires at pregame actually read the rule with the managers. Determined that mercy rule was in effect. Of course when it became an issue at the end of 5th the losing team cried behind our backs to TD. TD, not knowing pregame meeting yelled from scorebooth game was to go 7 innings. Now winning team is really sqawking. They feel they won championship. I stand my ground with them and say to losing team we went over this rule at pregame. Doesn't want to listen. Everyone is yelling now....everyone. Both teams fans, TD, everyone. I'm packing my stuff and walking off field. Now my partner says, he'll work remainder of game if TD wants him to. So now I'm left standing there with my pants around my ankles and the winning team is begging me to uphold the agreement at pregame.

I walked off saying ....... We had an agreement, I'm through. Needless to say, I'm gonna hear some grief but principles is principles in my book. Honor the agreement! I've still got my integrity but my partner and the losing team and TD have none. TD was told of agreement and still wanted 7 innings. Bull ShortS!!!
