Tournament Umpires Assignments and Consequences for Missed Assignments.

In previous discussion about tournament play, it was very strongly voiced that all teams wanted impartial umpires for tournament play.

We will again be assigning umpiring duty to head coaches for the 2013 tournament.  Head coaches may keep this assignment personally, or delegate it to their assistant or a knowledgeable player on their team.

Coaches not electing to have their teams in the tournament will NOT be scheduled umpiring duties.

By signing up for the tournament and knowing the tournament starts the first Monday in August, you have non-verbally stated you are available EVERY Monday in August for ANY time slot until Championship night.

As the pool of eliminated teams increases, that means we will assign coaches from teams eliminated to umpire tournament games.

In spite of a fine system instituted last year, there were still several games with missed umpiring assignments. In order to eliminate that this year, the following consequences are in play for a missed assignment.

Any missed assignment will mean;

A $20 fine.
