Intermediate Tournaments? See below from Pullman Little League JP From: mark hauck <markhauck(a)yahoo.com> Sent: Sunday, March 26, 2023 8:36 PM To: jarel(a)jpiworldwide.com Subject: Intermediate - Pullman Hosting Tournaments Hi JP, This is Mark Hauck (player agent) with Pullman LL. I am putting together two intermediate tournaments at the end of the year in Pullman. Friday night, June 2nd, and all day Saturday June 3rd. Then another tournament the following weekend with the same Friday night, Saturday all day type format June 9th and 10th. This is an end of the season tournament, so the kids can end their regular season in a very fun way. We play little league intermediates from Dayton, Richland, Cheney, and Lewiston during the regular season in Saturday double headers starting April 8th. Pullman is the only community with two Intermediate teams. Post Falls has three little league intermediate teams, and we are waiting for their very much assumed confirmation into at least one of our end of the season tournaments. Can you pass along any Spokane intermediate Little League teams contact info that might want to come over to Pullman and have some fun in an end of the season tournament with us? I have been working with the communities on our regular season schedule and we have come up with ways to ensure pitch counts are being adhered to during our Saturday regular season double headers as well as during the two end of the season tournaments. We are looking at a relatively small tournament fee to pay for the umpires from each community playing in the tournament. Pullman is a community lucky enough to have a pool of paid umpires that generally do a much better job than volunteers, especially at that intermediate level where some of the kids development starts to really show in their ability to command the strike zone and catchers trying to frame the strike zone etc.. If you know of any other intermediate level little league affiliates around the Tri Cities besides Richland or towards Othello, Moses Lake, or towards East Wenatchee that might want to take a weekend baseball trip to Pullman, please pass along their info to me 🙌 This is not a travel ball tournament by any stretch. This is an end of the season tournament for intermediate teams with players of all skill levels in the intermediate division getting to have a tournament like the travel ball kids get to, in a fun and exciting way to end their regular season. Please let me know if there are any communities struggling with getting games that would appreciate an opportunity like this. Thank you. Mark⚾ P.S. please call with any questions u might have 509-520-5615 Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android <https://go.onelink.me/107872968?pid=InProduct&c=Global_Internal_YGrowth_And…>

Reminder - District Administrator Election
by jarel＠jpiworldwide.com 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

All - Please see below from Western Region. JP Hi JP, This email is a friendly reminder that your position as District Administrator of Washington District 13 is up for election this year. The West Region staff will be running all of the District Administrator elections, but please feel free to send any election related questions directly to me. Your League Presidents will also be receiving a reminder email shortly about the election that is coming up. The nomination window will open on Wednesday, April 5th and close on Friday, April 14th. League Presidents will receive an email with a link to submit as many nominations as they would like. The individuals that are nominated in this form will receive a notification email that lets that person know they have been nominated for the District Administrator position. The individual is given the ability to accept or decline the nomination. Only League Presidents are able to submit nominations, not the current District Administrator. If a nominee is willing to accept, they will also be emailed a link to create their bio for League Presidents to view when submitting their vote. Nominees will have until April 28th to complete their bio. We will be working with your State Coordinator to help schedule virtual or in person meetings for nominees to speak in front of League Presidents shall they choose to do so before the voting window opens. If you are the State Coordinator of your respective state, expect to receive an email/call from the West Region Staff so we can find someone else to coordinate your district. The voting ballots will go live on Wednesday, May 3rd and will close on Friday, May 12th. Each League President will receive an email with a link to submit their vote. League Presidents will only have 1 vote. Voting status will remain confidential throughout this process. If there is only 1 candidate on your ballot, then the candidate must receive the majority number of votes to be elected. For example, if a district has 9 leagues, the solo nominee must receive at least 5 votes to be elected. For elections that only have 1 candidate, League Presidents will have the option to vote "yes" or "no" for the solo candidate. If there are multiple candidates on your ballot, the candidate with the highest number of votes will be elected. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!

D13 and D5 UMPIRE CLINIC
by Stacy Ashcroft 14 Mar '23

14 Mar '23

Hello District 13 and District 5 - This past weekend, we were fortunate to have Dennis Williams in Eastern Washington to lead an umpire clinic. Dennis is the Washington State Umpire in Chief - and is an outstanding presenter. We had 18 people attend the one day umpire training, and both districts were well represented. As many of you know, finding umpires at any level has been a challenge for the past couple of years - so it is encouraging to see so many people interested in becoming a Little League Umpire. Hopefully, the knowledge that was gained by those in attendance can be shared with other umpires or potential umpires in all of our leagues. Little League programs thrive on consistency - and clinics like these definitely promote that! Thanks to all who committed a day to learning the ropes. Thank you to Mark Dixon for coordinating the training. And thank you to Dennis Williams for sharing his knowledge and expertise. Looking forward to a great 2023 season! -- Stacy Ashcroft District 13 ADA West Plains Little League President president(a)westplainslittleleague.com 509-294-5341

Umpire Clinic
by Mark Dixon 14 Mar '23

14 Mar '23

I want to thank everyone for coming to or sending umpires to the clinic. We had 17 umpires from District 13 show up on Saturday. Dennis did a great job of training. I will be starting a District 13 umpire registry with the names I have from the clinic. I would also like the leagues to send me the names of other umpires they had sign up for this year or umpires that have umpired for you in the last couple of years. I would like to add those names too. I plan on using this as a way for the District umpires to communicate through the year. If something happens during a game or a question arises that they need help on, they can start an email to the registry, and we can talk it out. They can also call me at 509-475-3919. I will also be using this list to help arrange umpires for the District All Star tournaments and possibly the State tournament we have this year. Please let me know if you have any questions at all. Mark Dixon District 13 UIC

10 Mar '23

All, As a reminder we are STILL on tap for our UMPIRE CLINIC in Medical Lake TOMORROW --- Please let Stacy Ashcroft know if you have others that wish to attend. This clinic is being held by the District Umpire-In Chief - AND being taught by the State UIC - Dennis Wilson. They both are VERY GOOD! It's being held indoors at the Medical Lake Middle School, so weather should NOT be a factor. IF YOU HAVE ANYONE that is REMOTELY interested in being part of this clinic, please send them on! The more people we get trained as umpires, the better! Regards JP DA WA5/13
