ALASKA DISTRICT 1 UMPIRE PARTICIPATES IN REGIONAL TOURNAMENTS
Alaska District 1 Umpire-In-Chief, Jason Palmer, was selected to umpire the Northwestern Region and Western Region Little League Baseball (Majors) tournaments in San Bernardino, California. Umpire crews consisted of seven umpires for each game (six on the field plus one alternate). Umpires rotated through the different positions game by game so that each gets several turns at the different positions. Jason was home plate umpire in two of the games and in various field positions for the remainder. Congratulation Jason on a job well done!
CHILD UMPIRES
Regulation 9.01(a) states that “Non-adult umpires may be used to supplement the umpire crew but the umpire-in-chief must always be an adult.” Generally this means a person who is not an adult (no age limit) may serve in a game as an umpire, including as plate umpire, provided one or more other adults are also umpires for that game. However, that non-adult umpire cannot be designated as umpire-in-chief for that game. The umpire-in-chief is not required to be the plate umpire.
The Charter Committee is not allowing any waivers for this rule. The rule has been out since October/November 2009. Please see this policy statement from Little League Child Umpires
ANCHORAGE CITY-WIDE TOURNAMENT
