Re: the idea of replay umps taking precedence over live umps (discussed beginning ~30:00)
How about this solution: the live ump assigns an uncertainty value to his call (e.g. on a 5 point scale, 5 being "most certain" and 1 being "least certain") and somehow relays that value to the replay officials. If the replay officials are more certain than the live ump, their call takes precedence.
There would still be ties where both sets of officials are equally uncertain, but at least it would reduce the amount of "inconclusive" rulings.
