Believe me, this was only one of several situations we had with this particular umpire over the course of the season. From just a single game I detailed 2 pages worth of blowns calls with rules references and case plays which I submitted to his assigning associations head of officials. Not a thing was done about it.

The play I mentioned above was in the championship playoff, which started with the pitching plate at the wrong distance. His answer was to scratch one in the dirt with his foot. He claimed the athletic association told him to do that and get on with the games. I had my daughter tell him in the pregame meeting she was playing the game under protest as the rules are specific the game cannot start with the plate at the wrong distance. I had all the paperwork filled out to file the protest for not only the pitching plate distance but the out call on the batter. I gave it all to my daughter, which she gave to her principal to file. He chose not to pursue the protest and let it go.
