SCHEDULING

• All scheduling, including changes, continuations, make-ups, etc. (as well as any fee discrepancies) are to be handled through Tom. Phone numbers are not to be exchanged between coaches and umpires.

• BBSC will provide Tom with a copy of the schedule at the beginning of the season; managers do not need to provide your game schedule to Tom in advance. 

• If fields are closed by the county or BBSC, BBSC will notify Tom that all games are cancelled. Any penalties/fees will be incurred by BBSC. 

• If managers cancel an individual game (or agree to reschedule a game), HOME TEAM must notify Tom directly. Failure to do so will result in a penalty that must be paid by the manager(s) involved. You should call or text for immediate response (email only if multiple days in advance). 

• Tom must be notified of all cancellations by PHONE at least 2 hours prior to game start time. 

FEE ISSUES 

• If the umpire is not at the field 10 minutes prior to game time, call Tom at the number above. Do not call the BBSC Schedulers, as Tom is in direct contact with the umpires. If you leave a message, please indicate the following: “BBSC [Division], [Team Name], [Field], [your Name and Cell number]”. 

• If an umpire shows up to a regularly scheduled game that has been cancelled without notification to Tom, a full fee will be due.

• As long as one pitch has been thrown in a game the umpire is required to be paid a full fee.

• All umpires will strictly adhere to white sheet rules such as mercy, time limits, run limits, etc. 

• An umpire has the right at any time to call forfeit against an offending team for any uncontrollable, un-sportsmanlike behavior of any kind (by a player, coach or spectator).
