	ZERO TOLERANCE

posted 02/12/2010

ZERO TOLERANCE ZERO TOLERANCE

As we near the beginning of another baseball and softball season MBSA would like to remind everyone that we will not tolerate any verbal or other abuse of our umpires at the games. These umpires are often teenagers, and although they have trained well and passed a very tough qualifying exam, it is still inappropriate for anyone to berate an umpire. Only the manager has the authority to approach or address an umpire, and shall do so in a respectful manner. Umpires have the authority to eject anyone who does not adhere to our code of conduct. Please review the code of conduct for your players and let's remember to set good examples for our children at the games.

	2010 Registration Information

posted 02/02/2010

MBSA 2010 Registration closed 1-12-10 with the exception of the Colt and Palomino Divisions (close date 3-15-10).

Anyone registering after January 12th will be placed on a waitlist. Players will be sorted on that waitlist by registration date and time. Players will be removed from the waitlist and added to a division on a first come, first served basis as openings are available. Players will be contacted by the division coordinator as soon as he/she has been removed from the waitlist and added to the division roster for selection in the draft.

A $20.00 late fee will be imposed on all waitlisted registrations.

Refunds for players who remain on a waitlist and are not able to participate in the 2010 season will be mailed out on or about April 15th, 2010. The refunds will include any fundraiser purchase as well.
