Arbiter and Scheduling Information

There will be 3 scheduling periods for the regular season with each period
being about 4 weeks long. An email will be sent out to all umpires 2 weeks
prior to each period with an announcement that the schedule for the coming
period is available for you to self assign your games.   

In order to allow umpires to be able to schedule themselves with a partner of
their choice (example would be Father/Son) we will designate the 1st day of
assigning for that option only.  The 2nd day will be available for individual
assigning.

To access the schedule log into the Arbiter, go to Self Assign, and then click
Search.  You will see all the games that you are able to umpire. To assign
yourself to a game, click [Go] in the column of that game (there will be a
selection for both plate and base).  Please take your time and confirm you are
available to do the game you are assigning yourself. Once you assign yourself
the game, you cannot unassign the game and you will have to email the
assigner to remove you from the game.

To start, we ask that you schedule yourself for no more then 2 games a week.
This will allow for all of our umpires the opportunity to schedule themselves
games.  We also ask that you schedule yourself for both plate and bases, not
just bases.   

After the initial scheduling an email will be sent out showing what games still
need to be scheduled.  You can then log into the Arbiter and assign yourself
the games you are able to do. If you have previously scheduled yourself for 2
games that week, you can now schedule yourself for a 3rd or 4th game if you
wish.

Around 4 days before your scheduled game you will receive an email reminder
for that game. You can also print out your game schedule by going to Schedule,
then under Reports click Schedule and from there you can choose the date
range of the games you want to print.

If you are unable to umpire a game due to illness, etc please try to find a
replacement on your own before contacting the assigner. You can use the
Arbiter’s list of officials which have all of our umpire’s phone numbers to
contact a possible replacement.          

If you have any questions about the scheduling process, please email
