Team Reps: Game Day Checklist & Quick FAQs

What do I do if my umpire is late or a no-show?

Let a Collective member know, and we will try and find you a replacement. In cases of a late start to the game, in your umpire meeting, confirm the time for starting the last inning.

What do I do if someone is injured?

You will have the emergency contact info for all of your team members in the back of your binder. Immediately stop the game and assess next steps. If calling an ambulance, give the address as 420 Carlton Street.

What if a team member is late?

Move the player to the bottom of the batting order. They are an automatic out if they don’t show up in time to bat. A player must arrive by the third inning in order to join the game. Otherwise, they should be noted as a no-show.
