Concussion In Sports (For Managers/Coaches Only)  In accordance with the law, the Montgomery County Baseball Association is requiring ALL team coaches/managers to successfully complete the FREE 30 minute online course “Concussion In Sports – What You Need To Know.”  This course can be found at http://www.nfhslearn.com – click on Concussion In Sport - (you have to “order” a Free copy – the “order” information is used to complete the certificate).

Game Results Reporting
The winning team manager/coach is responsible for two things.  He/she emails the Game Summary Form to coachbidwick@5toolbaseball.net within 48 hours following the completion of a game. In addition, he/she must report the score on the MCBA website within 48 hours following the completion of each game.  Please note that the home team manager is responsible for completing the Game Summary Form, but the winning team manager should take possession of it following the signature process at the end of the game.

All age divisions must report the number of innings or partial innings (1/3's) pitched for every pitcher who appeared in the game for each team.  The information will be readily accessible for managers to view on the website.  When the winning team manager enters the game results, be certain to also access the pitching stats and enter the innings pitched for each pitcher, as appropriate.  Please note that when you access the Pitching Stats section of Game Results you have to enter under the first column "Ord" the order in which the pitchers appeared (1, 2, 3, etc.) and click on the box under the second column "G" indicating that he appeared in the game and then enter the number of innings and/or 1/3's of an inning pitched.
