2010 Regional & World Series Umpire Appointment Request - Due by November 1
The request forms for Central Region and World Series Umpire appointment consideration, have been placed in the mail to all 91 volunteer District Administrators throughout the Central Region. An individual umpire, with the approval of the District Administrator, can be recommended for one Regional or one World Series assignment, if they qualify. Then we would urge the District Administrator to recommend other qualified individuals, when possible, for the same opportunity in a different division or level of play. The umpire being recommended must also sign the request form. In order for any umpire to be considered for appointment in 2010, they must be eligible for the division of play that they are being recommend for and the request must be received in our regional office by the end of the day on Sunday, November 1, 2009. A review committee, which includes the various Regional Tournament Directors and their Regional Tournament Umpire Consultants, will be reviewing the request received in their division of play, then submitting their recommendations to this office for appointment consideration. The Regional Director will then be responsible to complete the selection process for all appointments. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact your volunteer District Administrator or you can contact the Regional Headquarters at (317) 897-6127.
Wednesday, October 1 Little League Announces Change in Umpire/World Series Policy
Previously, a Little League volunteer umpire was permitted to umpire only two different World Series tournaments in baseball and/or softball. Also previously, there was no minimum time limit between those two World Series tournaments. The new policy places no limit on the number of different World Series tournaments in baseball and/or softball that an umpire could work. However, the new policy places a minimum four-year hiatus between each of those assignments - during which the volunteer umpire must continue to provide his/her services to the local league/district. With these additional opportunities spread out over a number of years, it is our hope these veteran umpires will continue to lend their expertise to the Little League program beyond their most recent World Series assignment.
Here are the conditions that apply:
1. Any umpire who has been assigned to a World Series may apply for another world series at a different level. 2. It must be at least four years since the last assignment. (Example: An umpire works a 2009 World Series. That umpire once again becomes eligible under this condition to be recommended in 2012 to umpire a different World Series in 2013. If that umpire works a World Series in 2013, that umpire again becomes eligible under this condition to be recommended in 2016 to umpire a different World Series in 2017.) 3. An umpire may only be assigned to any one of the eight World Series one time.
4. An umpire that has left the Little League program for one season or
more must re-qualify once again with all the required recommendations
and umpire at least four years from when that umpire came back into the
program.
