Some additional information on umpires for your games --

Q - Who is responsible for securing an umpire for my game?

A - Any assignments completed at EBUA sign up night are added into League Lineup.  As the HOME TEAM COACH for a game, you are responsible for anything going forward.  If you have 1 umpire signed up, you need to reach out to that person and/or other officials to try and schedule a second person if needed.  If you have no umpires scheduled, again, you will need to reach out to umpires to see if anyone is available.  The EBUA umpire contact info list is available under Forms/Rules and Information.  The 2022 list can be found HERE. 

**Please make sure when you view the schedule, you are looking at the HOME team which should match the VENUE listed.  We've had some confusion since the visitor team is listed first.  **

Q - What if I need to reschedule/postpone a game for any reason?

A - As the HOME TEAM COACH, you are responsible for contacting any umpires that have been scheduled.  For postponed games due to weather or rescheduled/postponed games we suggest calling (rather than emailing).  Please leave voicemail and ask for a confirmation from the official to verify the message was received.  If the official shows up because you didn't call... or didn't call in time... your park owes that official a show-up fee.  

Q - I am an official/parent of an official and I need to let someone know that I have a game scheduled that I can't make, or would like to sign up for a game that is available.  Who do I contact?

A - You will need to reach out to the coach of the home team for the game in question.  They can pass along the changes to an ERBL admin who can update the assignment on League Lineup.  When you select the team to view in League Lineup, the coach/coaches contact number(s) will be listed. 

Q - I'm a coach and was contacted by an official/parent of an official about a schedule change (can't make the game, or wants to schedule an open game).  Who do I contact to update the information in League Lineup?

A - Right now, please contact Heather at EvansvilleRBL@gmail.com  so she can make that change for you.  You will receive an email back to confirm.  Make sure you let us know the division, date/time of game and who you are/what team you are with.  When life gets crazy, it's easier if all the info is there in one email.
