Dugout

[MichaelVA2000]

I umpire both slow and fastpitch leagues and keep anyone not on the team out of the dugout area. Problem is, not all the umpires in our association are following this rule (Rule 1 Dugout), which leads to...cmon Blue, nobody else keeps the kids, wives, or husbands that are not on the team out. Or when working locations where there are several fields you can see kids in the dugout on fields 2 and 4 but not on fields 1 and 3.

Has anyone else run into this situation?

Thanks,

Michael
