GENERAL INFO, RULES, ETC.
- B League is competitive
- Location: Loma Alta
- Paid umpires
- One 10-week season
- Address any questions, comments, or complaints about the fields or umpires
to the commissioner. If there is some such problem, contact
him/her the day after the occurrence to ensure prompt corrective action.
- The batter starts with a count of 1 ball and 1 strike.
- All players must sign a waiver (release).
The team manager keeps them and sends a copy to the registrar.
B League has its own special Rules.
After all teams have signed up and we pay County Parks, a copy of the
field permit will be available here. Each manager should print and carry it,
though this is mainly a problem in spring.
This is the field permit
for the current season.
If another group claims to have the field, below are our procedures
for settling the conflict. (Even given
previous experiences,
try to avoid the negative publicity of settling
this directly with the other group, especially if kids/parents are involved.)
Essentially, get the park worker to be the enforcer.
- One of the managers, by default the manager of the home team,
handles this. Everyone else should avoid confrontation with
the other group. Sticks and stones.
- Ask the leader of the other group to accompany you to the office.
We pay for a worker to be there the entire time we have the field
(plus some). At Loma Alta, that worker ideally is Penny or Odell.
Wait if needed.
- Whether or not the other party accompanies you, ask the worker to
decide. He/she may need to review the
permit and, if needed, call County Parks Reservations.
- Assuming all is in order, ask the worker to remove the other group.
If they refuse to leave, ask the worker to call Parks Police. Dispatch:
(800)834-0064
- File a report with the commissioner afterward.
