World Series/Regional Umpire Assignment Policy Statement

For Little League International

Procedures for all Regional Offices to use for making Regional and World Series umpire assignments.

While most of the volunteer umpires that are assigned are true Little League umpires, some have taken on additional

umpire responsibilities in other baseball and softball programs in order to make themselves better umpires. While these

umpires are sometimes more experienced and technically more qualified, they are in fact not necessarily better umpires

than the umpire who only umpires Little League games. Extra credit should be given to the individual who umpires

only Little League games over the individual who umpires in several programs and only a few Little League games.

For any volunteer umpire to get an assignment to a Regional Tournament or a World Series, that umpire must be

recommended to the Regional Director by the District Administrator where the individual lives. Too often, the

Regional Centers receive nominations from only a few of the districts and states in their region. District

Administrators should know how important it is to nominate those individuals in their districts who are volunteering

their time and effort to make the District Little League program successful. In addition to district tournament

experience within the division that umpires are applying for, it is highly recommended that umpires also have

experience at a state or sectional within that same requested division. State and/or sectional experience will prepare

umpires for the Regional/World Series assignment.

To ensure the volunteers are currently umpiring and still dedicated to the local Little League, a recommendation

must be submitted on the enclosed form every year. To be eligible for assignments outside the local league, the

individual must:

A. Umpire in the local league and get recommended for;

B. District, and get recommended for;

C. Region, and get recommended for a World Series.

For the Regional Office to consider an individual for a World Series or Regional assignment in a specific division

the individual should umpire during the current regular season in:

A. Little League Baseball (Majors) - to get recommended for Little League Baseball

Regional/World Series. (Would qualify for 9/10, 10/11 year old Baseball)

B. Little League Softball - to get recommended for Little League Softball Regional/World

Series. (Would qualify for 9/10, 10/11 year old Softball)

C. Intermediate (50/70), Junior, Senior or Big League Baseball - for recommendation for

Intermediate (50/70), Junior League, Senior League or Big League Baseball Regional/World Series.

D. Junior, Senior or Big League Softball - for recommendation for Little League, Junior

League, Senior League or Big League Softball Regional/World Series.

Each Regional Director will assign an appropriate number of umpires to each of their Regional Sites. An individual

who is knowledgeable in the intricacies of umpiring will evaluate the volunteer umpires on the enclosed form. At the

completion of the Regional tournament, these evaluation forms will be sent to the appropriate RegionalDirector
