Game Coordinator

** NOTE : This role only is only required in Little League Games **

The role and responsibilities of a KBA Game Coordinator are to follow rule 9.03 d) of the LL rule book. 

When there is no umpire over the age of 18, a Game Coordinator must be supplied by the home team. 

The Game Coordinator will:

•   Be a responsible adult over 18 years of age 
•   Be identified by the head coach at the plate meeting (pointed out in the stands). 
•   Remain in the stands for the entire game (can pass responsibility to another adult to          take breaks if required) 
•  Oversee the conduct of all coaches, players and umpires 
•  Make decisions on inclement weather conditions for safe play. 
•  Intervene when called over by an umpire who needs help with difficult coach(s) or player(s) 
•  Intervene when it is felt that an umpire requires help with a coach or player (is visibly overwhelmed) and has not yet called GC over. 
•  In the above situation it is encouraged to de-escalate the situation by calmly asking the coach or player to go back to their respective dugout. Under circumstances that a coach or player fails to comply with the GCs request, the GC has the power to eject. Ejected players or coaches must leave the park completely and entirely (to a car, or further). 

Inclement weather includes: a 30 minute suspension or delay for thunder or lightning. In this case ALL players, coaches and umpires leave the diamond and retreat to a car or substantial building (not in the dugout). 

A GC will NOT: render judgment on any ruling or call made by an umpire. It is the umpire’s decision that will be supported by GC.

 If there is an ejection or issues with non compliance on the part of coaches or players, please report to the UIC within 24 hours, via email or phone. Umpires are required to report as well. umpsched@kanatabaseball.com
