Dispute! Dispute!

Similar to other sports, kickball is a game of inches. Often amazing kickball plays are too close too call. Kickball umpires are constantly called on to make split-second decisions on very close calls. However they are human, as are the players, and mistakes can sometimes be made. There is nothing that infuriates a coach more than a bad call; and understandably so. In effort to relive tensions on both coaches and umpires, Sun City Kickball has developed the "Dispute Rule". The "Dispute Rule" states:

Captains will be allowed two (2) “disputes” during a regular season game. A game of Paper, Rock, Scissors, best two-out-of-three, will be used to settle the dispute. The umpire will ultimately have discretion on allowing a call to be disputed. Balls, fouls, and strikes cannot be disputed.

Hopefully this will act as a relief valve to ease tensions on missed calls. However this rule is put on hold during the post-season.
