Unlike many professional sporting events, our staff and umpires are not paid enough to receive your criticism so don’t do it. Our intention is for this to be a family friendly event. Coaches are asked to assist with the removal of any ejected fans.ħ. The Tournament Director reserves the right to eject any fan from the premises in order to resolve situations and maintain a safe environment. If the fans or coaches continue to be hostile, the team may be disqualified from the game and the tournament at the discretion of the Tournament Director.Ħ. If fans ride umpires, engage in derogatory, critical and invalidating comments that negatively affect the environment of those around them, their coach is to be given a warning to handle his fans by the umpire and if he does not handle it, the coach is to be ejected. Coaches are to ensure their fans know and understand that this tournament does not want “noise pollution” as it adversely affects those trying to enjoy youth baseball. This unwanted hostility may be verbal, physical and also extends to include all other online communication channels used to cyber bully, harm, injur, disrespect, or invalidate another.Īs most incidents occur at or near the end of games, a fan, coach or player ejected from the game may not participate in the following game.ĥ. Aggressive, covertly hostile and/or bad behavior by spectators, coaches, players, and fans targeting event staff, umpires, other teams, players, coaches or fans will not be tolerated and is cause for removal from the game, tournament, future tournaments, event premises and a visit with local authorities.

Balls and strikes and are not up for debate, questionable and no one wants to hear the moans and groans so often found at youth baseball parks. Coaches, players and their fans should treat the umpires with respect, even when in disagreement or if in their viewpoint a call was botched.With regard to on-field calls, the decision of the umpires shall be final.Ĭoaches may request time to calmly and quietly discuss rules interpretations or to find out if a second umpire had a better vantage point to make a call. Umpires have been assigned to each game that have no vested interested in the outcome for either team. If a fan has a question or disagreement, they should communicate with their team’s coach.ģ. Fans ARE NOT to address umpires in any manner before, during or after games. They are not to spew negative and critical comments for all to hear as this lowers the atmosphere and players perform worse. FANS are to cheer for their players and great plays.

Any interpretation and decision of the Tournament Director shall be final.Ģ. Of course, one or both teams may be adversely affected by rulings. Situations that arise may not be covered in rules and will be determined in what is fair and consistent with traditional baseball. If questions or disputes arise about policies and procedures, coaches shall bring them to the attention of the Tournament Director to be dealt with. BombSquad Baseball’s tournament management will make every effort to treat all teams with fairness.
