One of the umpires we had for a particular doubleheader (All we played in that league) summed it up pretty well. The first game went 15 innings and the second headed into extra innings. As I left my catching spot headed to the bench he said " hey let the guys know that from now on if it's not rolling or over my head it's a strike" That game still went 12.
I can picture the graders doing something similar. No obvious damage ? 5 Big crease or stain? 2
Really nice centering 8
Seal em up and get em out!
