sorry USSSA baseball vs NFHS

I remember a chart that compared these two rule sets. Cant find it- It may be inactive I am aware USAA rules are obsolete BUT just asking

It was me. Search for bumper stickers

One of the problems in recruiting people to call rec level ball is they are reluctant to purchase a lot of gear and uniforms until they are sure they want to continue to do this expensive job. All of us have loaned or given uniforms and gear to youths and some adults only to never see them again after the season and/or 2-3 games. Good umpire pants are $40-$50, good shirts are $25-$30, fitted caps are $15-$25 and so on. We are toying with the idea of allowing rookies to wear khaki pants with plain black polo shirts, black belt, black shoes and adjustable black hats while only mostly getting field assignments. Once a person gets the proper uniforms AND plate gear plus being evaluated ready then they will be in the rotation for all assignments. This allows anyone, youths and adults, to go to Walmart and get a cheap “starter” uniform until they have the desire to be a Big Boy and look like a real umpire. Comments please

Hard to believe guys the fine print is ambiguous in an insurance policy. I have pings into NASO and ABUA now. Will post when I get an answer.

If an umpire calls a game where there : 1. Less than the required number of players to field a team 2. Game where pick-up players and/or borrowed are used 3. A pick-up game 4. A practice game Is the umpire: 1. More liable for injuries suffered during any of the above games? 2. Not insured at all. We have some umpires claiming that their insurance is void IF the call any “non sanctioned” games/event I carry NASO and ABUA insurance and cannot find any exclusions in either policy BUT did not read all fine print Comments please

"I had both coaches sign the Game Card" Nothing good happens when a coaches and umpires interact after a game is over. Be the first ones off of the field when the game is over.

Maybe he had the bottom of his pockets cut out.

Sorry Your "role" is to take care of you team member FIRST! I wont respond to this post again BUT if a 'superior' directed me to abandon my partner when he needed help JUST FOR A BASEBALL GAME things will get ugly real quick. Combat is different. Baseball is just a game for little boys and and is being ruined by greedy tournament directors. OUT!

Then you should know.

Good job Chief It seems some on this forum are not Ex Military. When I am/was on the field the only friend I had was my partner. He will be protected by me at all costs. I expect the same. Hooyah @JaxRolo

Our first priority is to ensure the safety of all involved. Do what you have to to to make this happen. @notrump - you did it right!
