2019 Ratings *New*
Attached are the 2019 Varsity Playoff ratings. The first 24 will be needed and should make themselves familiar with the 3 man system. We will have a meeting on Monday evening to review. For those working outbracket games on Saturday (there are 4 of them), please plan to arrive at least 45 minutes to an hour prior to game time to review three umpire mechanics, get a protest committee together, and walk the field as a crew. Please be sure at least one crew member has a USA softball rule book that you can have available should you need it for a possible protest. Remember, protests must be on misapplication of a playing rule and need to be settled immediately.
There is no run rule for playoffs. Weather should not be an issue, but lightning strikes require at least a 30 minute delay.
Congratulations to all umpires who will work this year's playoffs!
I am working the 10 am game Saturday at Bayport (Academy St. School). I am working with Dennis Forstell (1B) and Kevin Cleary (3B). I invite all playoff umpires who do not have a game Saturday to come and watch.
