Because of the size of our region, weather conditions can vary depending on where you are located. As a result, umpires are reminded to please utilize the following process if the weather is questionable for a game:
- Team/ Association is to contact the Assignor by no later than 2 hours prior to game time if game is cancelled due to weather.
- As soon as the Assignor is contacted that a game is cancelled, the game listing is updated in RAMP (you get a notification). Assignor also sends out an email from the Assignor yahoo account.
- If you don’t get notification that your game is cancelled, please attend at the diamond prepared to umpire.
- If you get to the diamond, and there are no teams, let the Assignor know immediately. He will follow up with the Association. Umpires are paid if the game was not cancelled, the umpires show up, but the teams do not.
- If you get to the diamond, and the teams are present, start the game if possible (if conditions are safe to allow play). Once the game starts, umpires receive their game fees. If the game cannot start due to the conditions, umpires would receive any mileage owed, but no game fees.
If you have questions, contact Brad (the Assignor).
