You Be the Umpire 
When I was a kid being a umpire sounded like a cool job. Acutally umpiring a 9-10-year-old girls softball game was not that much fun. The rules are somewhat arcane. Here is a quiz to test your rules knowledge.
| | 4. Tagging up on a deep fly ball to right-field, R3 takes off for home when the center-fielder (F8) touches the ball. The ball, however, jumps out of the F8's glove and is caught by the right-fielder (F9). When the ball is actually caught, R3 is already 1/3 of the way home and scores easily. The defense formally appeals to you that R3 left too soon. What is your call? |
| | The BR is out on the catch and R3 is out on the appeal |
| | The BR is out on the catch and R3 is called "safe" on the appeal and the run counts |
| | The BR is out on the catch, the ball is called dead and R3 is sent back to 3rd base |
Hmmm...
