Skagit Valley Softball Umpires

SOFTBALLJOURNAL

Please note that there are different start times for some fields as these are rainout makeup games being done on a compressed schedule.

Election policy is stated is the Skagit County Park & Recreation Adult Softball Rules and must be followed.
Bats need to be checked at every game. Bats must have a 2004 ASA sticker. Bats can not be on banned list. (list is available on our web site
www.softballjournal.com) If you are not sure that a bat is legal, do not allow it to be used until the player can prove that it is legal.
If you see alcohol in the dugout, ask the coach to see to it that it is removed. If you see any after that your are to eject someone. Then follow up with an incident report that you can get from Fred.
None of the leagues that we umpire use the ASA positioning rule in co-ed games. Male and female players may be anywhere on the field. This is true for the county even though their league rule sheet does not say so.
Umpires need to start wearing proper uniforms.  Gray pants or Navy blue shorts, ASA powder blue shirt or navy blue shirt and to ASA approved jacket and an ASA approved hat.

. All our umpires have now been working for a year or more. It is time to invest in the proper clothes and wear them to the games. If you have questions or need help acquiring the proper gear, call John Carney at 360-293-1737.
When only one umpire out of the four up at the college is in proper uniform it hurts the integrity of our association. Let's show some more pride.

SVSUA schedules games to umpires for the customers and umpires are independent contractors, not employees of SVSUA

Umpires can accept or decline games from the customers who use SVSUA member umpires

Umpires decide the games and the location of the games they desire to umpire based on the fact of being independent contractors

Umpires provide their own uniforms and equipment as independent contractors but meet minimum safety and professional standards set by their customers
