| Aug. 5, 2011 just joe 33 posts | RULE BOOK WHAT CAN YOU DO, WHEN YOU PROTEST A CALL BY AN UMPIRE THAT GOES AGAINST THE RULE BOOK, AND THE UIC MAKES THE WRONG DECISION. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT OCCURRED.2 STRIKES ON THE BATTER, THE PITCHER PITCHES THE NEXT PITCH, THE BATTER SWINGS AND MISSES,STRIKE 3, RIGHT,NO,THE UMPIRE CALLS NO PITCH FOR EXCESSIVE SPEED.THE PROTEST IS MADE RIGHT THEN.THE UIC IS CALLED IN AND RULES THAT A PITCH WITH EXCESSIVE SPEED IS NO PITCH,A DO OVER.THE NEXT DAY THE UIC TELLS YOU HE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION, YOU BEING A BELIEVER IN HONESTY LEAVE IT AT THAT.YOU RETURN HOME FROM THE TOURNAMENT AND READ THE RULE BOOK COVER TO COVER.THE RULE FOR EXCESSIVE SPEED IS A WARNING TO THE PITCHER THAT IF HE DOES IT AGAIN HE WOULD BE REMOVED FROM PICHING,NOTHING ELSE. YOU TURN YOUR ATTENTION TO OUR BOARD.YOU CAN'T GO BACK AND REPLAY THE GAME, BUT BECAUSE OF THE ERROR THAT KEPT YOUR TEAM FROM WINNING A NATIONAL TOURNAMENT, MAYBE THE BOARD WOULD ALLOW YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY IN THE T.O.C.THE BOARD BEGINS TO TELL YOU THAT THEY HAVE TO BACK THEIR OFFICIALS,THEN CHANGING WHAT THE PROTEST WAS ALL ABOUT.SAYING TIME WAS OUT,THE UMPIRE HAD HIS HAND UP, THAT THE BATTER WASN'T READY.I WAS THERE, THE PROTEST WAS FOR HIS CALL, AND HIS CALL ONLY FOR EXCESSIVE SPEED.NOW COMES THE BEST,YOU LOSE THE TOURNAMENT, PLAY IN ANOTHER REGIONAL TOURNAMENT THAT HAS ONLY ONE OTHER TEAM WITH THE SAME RATING AS YOU, PLAY OTHER RATED TEAMS HIGHER THAN YOU,GET SPOTTED SEVEN RUNS WIN 9-7,THEN WIN 20-16 WITH AGAIN SEVEN RUNS.PLAY THE OTHER TEAM WITH THE SAME RATING AS YOU, WIN 13-2,16-11 AND IN EXTRA INNINGS 13-12,TO WIN THE TOURNAMENT.THEN YOU GET AN E-MAIL THAT YOUR RATING IS GOING FROM AA TO AAA BECAUSE YOUR RUN DIFFERENCE AGAINST OTHER AA RATED TEAMS IS 5.9 AND YOU WON THE WINTER NATIONALS.THE TEAM THAT BEAT YOU IS STILL AA RATED.WE PLAYED 4 AA TEAMS THE RUNS AGAINST WERE AS FOLLOWS.TEAM1-(32-31) TEAM2( 42-25) TEAM3( 13-12) TEAM4( 47-11 )THE ONLY TEAM WE WERE SUPERIOR TO.WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE GOVERNED FAIRLY.THIS IS NOT THE CASE,I GOT ANOTHER E-MAIL BACK APOLOGIZING OF THEIR MISTAKE OF US WINNING THE TOURNAMENT, BUT NOT RETURNING US TO AA. |

| Aug. 6, 2011 just joe 33 posts | MAD DOG THATS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE ON THE DO OVER WITH 2 OUT THE BATTER GOT A HIT AND HIS TEAM PROCEEDED TO SCORE 5 RUNS.THIS CALL COST US THE TOURNAMENT, BUT MY TEAM WAS MOVED UP IN RATINGS AND HIS TEAM STAYED THE SAME.WHERE IS THE JUSTICE USSA |
