Ok great đź‘Ť thank you! Perhaps going forward, could I suggest that we stop putting language talking about notarized documents in our state tournament packets? I’m pretty sure it’s mentioned in this year’s Major baseball state packet from D2 as well—what happens is that when we actually have league presidents and/or team managers who take the time to read the packet thoroughly, they see that written in there and then freak out, thinking that they’re not properly prepared and that their team will be turned away from the next tournament level. Clearly this is an unnecessary stressor to add to an already stressful enough situation for parents and teams trying to make preparations to travel across the state on short notice, etc…

It’s not required… just trying to make sure if someone gets hurt we have all our bases covered…  a “belt and suspenders” kind of approach.

I will forward this around again and see if we can drum up any more help for you…

 

Also, we have a question/concern about the medical release forms having to be notarized for the juniors tournament—are you saying they have to be notarized or else the team can’t play? Or were you just making a “warning” so that teams are aware that they may not be accepted by a local hospital if a child gets injured and his parents aren’t there?

Subject: [Wadas] Still short on Umpires

 

Hi All,


We are still desperately short on umpires for BOTH 8-10 and Juniors – 8-10 starts on the 22nd and Juniors on the 15th. We have umps for the weekend schedules but very few for during the week of play.


Any help will be appreciated. Both tournaments are short in filling the schedule. Behind the plate adult umps are what is needed.

 

 

 

Regards
