I play in a lower D USSSA league and this year I've been keeping track of our teams batting stats:

To do that accurately, I snap a GoPro behind the fence at home plate and re-watch/fill in the spreadsheet later. Only takes a few minutes since I can skip all the defense.
A few umps have said it's against the rules to record the games but have been fine with me doing it...until last week. The ump saw the camera and said no more.
I just read through the USSSA rules and there's only a single mention of audio or video devices in section 2-14. It basically said no audio or video devices on the field of play. Our local city league rules has no mention of audio/video devices at all.
Since my camera is behind the fence and couldn't in any way interfere with the game, how is this a problem?
