If you can get them to agree to allow it at pregame, then its over with.

I would not want to OOO this personnaly.

But, then again, I would be on time.

Did I mention be on time?


Tell the other umpire "oh hey thanks!" and go about your business.

Thanks for yourr reply. 150% agree with on-time....hard to do when I accidentally went to wrong field however, mistakes happen. Not an everyday event for me and 5 minutes was not make-or-break....we have a 5 minute gap between games (which I often give to the team that is short 2 players who "are pulling into the parking lot right now") and in this instance, game was over 40 minutes after it started (10-run-rule).

I'm sorry, don't know what "OOO" means?
