New Hampshire vs. Vermont (Little League) forfeit controversy

According to WCAX tv website (Vermont), "Little League rules require that each player on the team play three consecutive outs and get one at bat or that team must forfeit the game if the opponents file a protest." Now, let's understand something here. The key words in the previous statement are, "if the opponents file a protest". This implies that IF the opponents DON'T file a protest, that the other team would win, despite 'breaking the rules'. This is interesting, because the website goes on to say that "Needing to extend the game to the bottom of the sixth, Place (vermont coach) had Vermont's pitcher start intentionally walking batters and other players were making wild throws to advance runners, both teams were eventually warned by the umpires. Soon after another wild throw by Vermont's pitcher, both Place and the pitcher were ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct." Now, how can the umpires warn and eject players/coach for something that inherently should remain secret until a coach "protests"? THE UMPIRES HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO THIS AND ACTED OUT OF PLACE! This is just another example of umpires hungry for attention and not knowing their responsibilities. The umpires should have acted as though everything was normal. It is the same as when a player slides into home and misses the plate and the catcher thinks he tagged him and the ump should just stand there and make no call. This is because the play is not finished. He is not to tell the catcher, "HEY, YOU DIDN'T TAG HIM". It's not his job. He is there to observe and judge, not coach. He must wait until a play is made. The catcher will then realize, as will the runner that it ain't done yet and then finish the play. This is the same thing. NOT YOUR JOB ,BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
