Guidelines for Umpires

The TBA is endeavouring to work with Umpires to ensure all games are conducted in a manner consistent with the Rules and in keeping with the spirit of fair play and safety, both for them and the players and coaches involved. We ask all players, coaches and spectators to respect the Umpires assigned to their games and conduct themselves in a way that reflects well on the TBA, Baseball Ontario and the sport of baseball.

In particular, the TBA is trying to support its umpires by reviewing all game incidents and taking appropriate action where necessary. To this end, we ask that all umpires use the Incident Report Form available here for all ejections and incidents. This not only allows the league to ensure that appropriate sanctions are carried out, but also allows the league to review repeated incidents for possible further disciplinary action.

To parents and coaches: We don't have a game without umpires. Please respect all game officials and set an example for young players to follow throughout their playing careers.
