[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is a troll. This isn't how age appeals work.

1) Umpires don't deal with player eligibility.
2) Umpires don't talk to parents regarding any aspect of the game.
3) If age eligibility was properly questioned by a coach, it would be adjudicated by a league or tournament official. At tournaments, teams are required to have birth certificates on hand for all players on the roster.

Travel Ball Coach here. Agree.

This is a troll post.[/quote]

Dad, here. No one cares that you're a 'travel ball' coach and no one cares that you sat on the bench at Gettysburg for two seasons in the late 90's. HTH.[/quote]

pp here who originally explained why it's a troll. I'm a former travel softball coach and currently an umpire in three different sanctions. The "travel ball coach" information in the pp's post is actually salient because it indicates someone who's been around the game a long time and knows how things work. OP is using the MSU rulebook ("Make Shit Up").

Hold up. You're supposedly a coach and an experienced ump and you're claiming BS on a game getting forfeited?

That is BS. I only have two sons who have been playing since 18 and I've seen three or four game get called for ineligible payers.

You are FOS.[/quote]

Yeah, I'm calling out the story as not credible and complete bullshit. An umpire doesn't adjudicate player eligibility in any sanction I'm aware of. Not USA, not USSSA, certainly not NFHS. Roster challenges are not to the umpires, rather whoever is administratively in charge. So in HS that would be an athletic director. In a USSSA or USA tournament it would be a tournament director or league official. I'm obviously not up on the official rules of baseball, but it's my understanding it's the same thing.

So this story where some random Mom complained to an umpire about a player being too old and the umpire 1) listened to her; and 2) Challenged another coach based on this accusation doesn't track. At all. And that's what the other coach was saying, too. It's just not believable or consistent with the way things work.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about, although I'm quite certain you're not in doubt. My suggestion is that you take a seat, shut the hell up, and let those of us who know what's what discuss this. You are dismissed. [/quote]

You are a blustering idiot, like most umps I know. You're lucky you're sitting in a cube, gramps.[/quote]
