Umpire Policies & Procedures - 2008

Umpiring
1. Arrive at park 15 minutes prior to game time.  If you are going to be later that 15 minutes prior to game time - call the park to let the manager on duty know!
2. Review your evenings game assignments - IE: league specifics, home run limits, rules & regulations.
3. Secure controls for scoreboards and take to field and set up.
4. Take the appropriate game ball to the field.
5. Be on the field 5 minutes prior to game time to cover ground rules with teams. Be sure to instruct teams to 'hustle' on and off the field in order to keep games on time.
6. Make sure teams have complete their line-up cards with players FIRST & LAST NAMES.
7. Following your game or games: return the line-up cards to the office - stapling the winning teams card on top. Make sure scores are correct!
8. At the conclusion of your assignment, (league play specifically,)  bring in the controls for the scoreboards and put them away with cords wrapped neatly around them.
9. If you took any drink cups or softball wrappers to the field, make sure you dispose of them upon exiting the field. Do not leave your trash on the field or in the control boxes!
 
Please note: Completion of these procedures has an affect on your evenings game bonus!  They will be deducted from your pay if not completed!
