Asking everybody's opinion.
They send refs and umps from other regions to call basketball and football. I think and do you think they should do the same for baseball and softball region tournaments. I highly recommend they do this.

Yelp got too many on a game calling for a team from their home town

As far as I knew it was standard practice for all sports to use outside region officials.

Sometimes there are problems with umps that are not used to a different “speed of the game”. I’ve seen that at the state tournament. You have umps that have not called many “high level” games that really had problems!

It seems to work well for basketball so it should work for baseball

Here’s the fix to that. Decide which umpires are going to call in a specific region tournament a year ahead of time and have those umps work a few games in that region during the regular season. The crew that is chosen to go to another region is always an all star crew. They should be fine.

Plate ump did everything he could do to give Rowan Co. a victory over McCracken Co. in the state baseball quarterfinals this year. Pitches splitting the zone and he'd never ring them up. This same ump ended the state tourney on a BLOWN double play call at first, photos prove the kid was on the bag. The state tournament is meaningless to schools from the WEST. Don't even think you'll ever get a fair chance with the current system.
