All umpire assignments will be handled by the Umpire Assignor assigned to your age division. If you have a particular umpire you would like to used, it must be approved by the League Director. Assignment fees are paid by the League.

TEAMS WITH HOST HOME FIELD. Teams with home fields will have first priority to enter our league. If you have a home field, let us know. If there are additional costs in reserving the fields: eg. rental fees, insurance, field prep. The home field team has the option to share the costs with the visiting team. THE LEAGUE WILL ASSIGN FIELD LOCATION FOR EACH DIVISION. IT IS IMPORTANT TO LET US KNOW ABOUT FIELD AVAILABILITY.

AGE DIVISION AND CUTOFF DATES: A players age division is determined by what age the player will be after April 30th, 2009 If your team just finished playing 12U tournaments and leagues you move up to 13U division. All players will play at their 2009 league age. For example: Mike is born May 10, because he is 12 after April 30th 2009, he is a league age 12 for the 2009 season.
