After each game, you must complete an "Umpire Report Form" located in the concession stand (enter side door inside majors dugout). This is a mandatory step following each game and you will not be paid unless an Umpire Report Form is completed for each game you umpire. You will be paid from the concession stand @ this time concluding your assigned game. If working an "off-site" location (Marguerite or West Point Elementary) please see coaches regarding payment.
Rainout Policy
If it's been raining and the fields are wet, there's a good chance the games will be canceled. Umpires have been instructed to be contacted by league directors and/or coaches in the event of a cancellation. You can yourself check the West Point Little League website to see whether the fields are open. If the fields are open the games will be played.
Show-up Policy
In 2-man situations (Juniors), if your umpire partner does not show up you will NOT be paid his portion even if you call the game alone. It is recommended you get a volunteer to help you and call or text the Umpire Director ASAP to get help. ALWAYS start the game on time even if with 1 umpire.
If you show up late to a game you may not get full pay. Arrive 15-20 minutes early please.
If you miss a game you will not be paid.
