What are all these links?

There are 3 links for each divsion that you need to know about:

Game Signup: This is the first place you will go when you want to sign up for games. The division umpire captain will send out an email notifying you that the games are available. You will go to the game signup link for that division to view the available games. Once you decide what games you are available to umpire, put your first and last name at the top, answer the question (Have you requested games this week already?), and then click the check box beside all the games you are available for. You will receive email confirmation of your game signup submission.

Game Schedule: Once the division umpire captain has assigned games, he/she will post the games on the game schedule page. There is nothing interactive on this page. Just look for your name and ensure that you can umpire all the games that you are booked for. If you can’t umpire a game you are booked for, email the division umpire captain immediately. FYI: The search function works within the table (Ctrl+F)

Submit Invoice: After you have umpired the games you are scheduled for, you will proceed to the submit invoice page. Simply fill in all the required information and optional information if any of it was applicable to your game. Then click the submit button and you are done. You will receive email confirmation of your invoice submission.

What if I go to a Game Signup page and it says "It looks like the form "Umpiring Game Signup" is turned off"?

This means that the signup for the division is closed for the week. Please refer to the emails from the division umpire captains to find out this window.

What if I run into technical difficulties?

First, Firefox and Chrome are officially supported. The game schedule pages do not always display correctly in Internet Explorer if cookies are disabled.

Also, be sure it include a phone number where I can contact you. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

I have questions about umpiring or a situation that happened on the field. Who do I contact?

Email the umpire captain for the division where the problem occurred. They are there to help you improve your umpiring skills and become more confident at the job. Don’t hesitate to email them with any umpiring questions.

I have a general umpiring question. Who do I contact?

Email any of the umpire captains or the Baseball Ontario Umpires Committee. They will all be glad to assist you in answering any umpiring related info.

How do I cancel all my requests for the week for a division?

Simply submit a game signup for that division with your name and state that you have requested games before for that week for that division. Then don't check any boxes for your availability.
