Ooops, Irish I'm sorry! I guess you've misunderstoud me: I've had many tie-breakers, but only 2 games that had to end after 9 innings (by our Dutch rule) and was still tied...
Extra innings are indeed fined by buing a round for the crew by the PU. This rule doesn't apply for our competition; we work in 2-umpire crew... However in European Tournaments (European Champoinships and EuroCups) the PU has to buy a round for all the assigned umpires in the Tournament, the UIC, TC-members and scorers. In the play-off and the Dutch Final, we work in 3-umpire crew, then the PU has to buy for his BU's and the scorer. Almost all the play-offs and finals I've worked the UIC and other BigLeague-umpires come to visit the crew in the dressingroom. They never come empty handed and always bring a cold one allong for the crew. Showering can be a long during process... ![]()

The only difference is that the PU is not held any more accountable than those working the bases. The crew buys for everyone. |

Sometimes I have trouble interpreting what you, Americans, mean. I Know the english words, but you're not using the Queens English

If they're waiting for the final out, do they enter afterwards the field to call another game? I just can't imagine that they will work a game after drinking a cold one... ![]() Quote:
But if BU makes a (final) out on the tie-breaking runner, he can be forced to pay his share... ![]()

Batter gets a hard base hit to center. Apparently, R1 (all 275+ lbs of him) had some vision of grandeur and decided he was going to score the winning run. As the PU, I could see the entire play develop in front of me. This guy was dead. I'm saying to myself, "there was no way he is going to score and we are going to the eigth". The throw from the outfield was strong and on line. I'm set up just waiting for the play to occur at the plate when all of a sudden, the pitcher reaches out and snags the throw out of mid-air and the winning run scores. I'm thinking, "damn, what just happened?" ![]() My partner says, "no problem. I simply yelled "cut" and the pitcher did. ![]() True story. ![]() ![]() |
