The Homer tournament has a very unusual rule--one that I have never seen before! Managers can protest a call. That call cannot be an umpire's judgment call--it must be in how a rule is interpreted. However, the manager must deposit $50 cash at the time of the protest. If the protest is upheld, the money is returned. If the protest is denied, the team loses its $50! Thankfully, my knowledge of the rules is reasonably strong!
