Manly Warringah WINTER BASEBALL Association Incorporated

Duties

With 26 teams in the comp this year every week there will be one diamond where only one game is played on the day. This means that the normal rules for determining ground setup and clean-up, and umpiring cannot apply to that game. Following is an aid to help the managers determine their teams weekly responsibilities.

Ground Setup and Clean-up
When 2 games are scheduled for a diamond (at 12:00 and 2:30) on the day -
a) the home team in the 12:00 game is resposible for setting up the diamond,
b) the home team in the 2:30 game is responsible for cleaning up the diamond & putting away the bases, etc

When only one game is scheduled for a diamond on the day -
a) the home team is resposible for setting up the diamond,
b) the away team is responsible for cleaning up the diamond & putting away the bases, etc

Umpiring
When 2 games are scheduled for a diamond (at 12:00 and 2:30) on the day -
a) the home team in the 12:00 game must provide 2 umpires for the 2:30 game,
b) the home team in the 2:30 game must provide 2 umpires for the 12:00 game

This season, if you are the away team on AQ2 you may have to umpire the game on AQ1 before or after yours, so check. This situation arises if you are playing at the same time as a 1st grade game but the game before or after is not 1st grade.It requires umpires as 1st grade does not umpire lower grades.
