To avoid having to pay a half fee to the umpire assigned, he/she must be notified a minimum of 90 minutes before the game is scheduled to begin.

Procedure to follow should a game that you have scheduled have to be cancelled or re-scheduled. Again this is just for games that you have scheduled, NOT for games that someone else has scheduled:

1) Contact the assigned umpire by scrolling down below this message to the officials game assignment tab

2) Press the link below for the officials game schedule and select your game       

3) If the game you are cancelling is not the "day of", use drop down box to choose the correct date, you can also use the drop down boxes  for complex and Organization to avoid having to scroll through all games assigned on that date

4) To the far right of your game listing, click on "details". There you will find the umpire that is assigned to your game contact information

5) Call his/her cell phone, if you get no response leave a voicemail message and ask them to confirm they got the message then call his/her assigner, whose contact information is listed directly under the umpire's contact information, if again you get no response, leave a voicemail message and ask them to confirm they got the message. 

6)  Call Dan Lacorbinere @ 401 486-9964, if you get no response, leave a voicemail message telling him what games have been cancelled or rescheduled.

7) Should the game being cancelled be part of an inter league schedule, notify the opposing team and also the person that is responsible for making and maintaining the schedule for the league/leagues.

USA Softball of RI has adopted a zero tolerance policy. Should a coach manage to get his or herself ejected from a tournament game, the ejected coach cannot coach for the remainder of the tournament. The coach must leave the field immediately, and is relegated to being a spectator from the parking lot/outside of the complex for the remainder of his/hers team's games in the tournament.. Failure to comply will result in the team being forfeited out of the tournament.  It is the coaches responsibility to control the fans associated with his/her team, should they become unruly. The umpire, U.I.C; or the tournament director will ask the head coach to speak to the fans, if they remain unruly, the game will be declared a forfeit.      

Note:  Any coach of a RI team that has been ejected from one game, and is subsequently ejected for a second time will be suspended for the remainder of the season and will face a disciplinary hearing that could result in further discipline, up to and including, a permanent suspension from USA Softball  

Coaches of teams registered with USA Softball of RI will face the same penalties should they be ejected from an out of state USA Softball sanctioned tournament, and the ejection is subsequently reported to USA Softball of RI by a tournament director or state commissioner

Should a parent get ejected from a game they must leave the field, and will not be allowed at the next game. If this is the team's last game of the tournament the suspension will carry over to the next tournament.

Note:  Any parent of a RI team that has been ejected from one game, and is subsequently ejected for a second time will be suspended for the remainder of the season and will face a disciplinary hearing that could result in further discipline, up to and including, a permanent suspension from USA Softball
