Bay State Baseball will provide two umpires for each game. The home team
will be responsible for payment of these umpires for all qualifying games.
Teams will split the costs of umpires for trophy weekend and Tournament of
Champions games, with the exception being the semifinals and finals,
wherein the league will pay. Any complaints relative to umpires must be
made to the Division Commissioner.
2024 Umpire fees:
No local league rules regarding umpire payment shall override Bay State
rules.
The Division Commissioner must be informed immediately of any
rescheduled or canceled games in order to inform the appropriate umpire
assigner.
If no qualified umpire(s) is available by 15 minutes after the scheduled start
of the game, the respective managers have the option of re-scheduling
according to available dates or playing the game with a mutually agreed-
upon umpire(s). Should the game be rescheduled, the proper Division
Commissioner must be notified.
The first pitch of the game constitutes the acceptance, by both teams, of the
umpires.
All umpire fees must be paid prior to the start of the game. If the game is not
started due to weather, but the umpires have arrived, they will be entitled to
50% fee.
