Asking for Help
Leave your ego at home Umpire out of position can get help if they ask for it Make the call. If other umpire sees something
different, huddle up and talk about it. It’s the original umpire’s call ultimately
Create credibility for yourselfMistakes happen
Example: First Basemen pulls his foot off the bag

Self Evaluation
Did I arrive in time to prepare for the game?Was I in position for every call?Was I properly prepared for each play?Working the plate:
Was my strike zone consistent?How was my timing?Were my signals clear and sharp?
Did I assist and communicate with my partner?Did I keep my cool? Is there any other part of my game that needs work?

Composite Bats
By way of summary, Little League International has placed an immediate moratorium on the use of composite bats. "Composite" bats are generally defined as those bats that have barrels comprised of a "composite" of materials. Most composite bats can be identified by the word "composite" which is typically listed on the barrel. As a rule-of-thumb, a typical aluminum/alloy or wood bat is NOT considered a "composite" bat, and thus not affected by the moratorium. Metal/alloy bats can also be identified by a description on the barrel, and a bat identified as such is not considered a "composite" bat. The moratorium applies only to bats with composite barrels, with no concern for the make-up of the handles. A bat with a composite handle, but a non-composite barrel, is NOT subject to the moratorium. The moratorium applies to all levels of Little League.
According to Little League International, this moratorium is primarily about safety, and less about the effect on competition. Little League International recently received research showing that, over time, some composite bats will exceed the required bat performance factor ("BPF") of 1.15. Research has shown that use of bats exceeding the required BPF could invoke some undesirable safety issues, and thus Little League, in its discretion, imposed this moratorium.Some bats have received a waiver from the moratorium (and thus may be used during Little League-sponsored events)

Infield Fly Rule Rules 2.00, 6.05d, and 7.08f
Rule is to protect the offensive teamBut most often argued by the offensive
manager Must be less than 2 outs Not a line drive or a bunt Can be caught by any fielder “around the
diamond” by ordinary effort Runners on 1B and 2B or bases loaded
![Page 85: Anderson Township Little League (ATLL) 2012 Umpire Coordinator : Lee Peterson (with umpire team members : Dave Wingard, Ben Swinerton, Tom Kyllo, Jim Gibbons](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56649e165503460f94b01814/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Umpire declares batted ball to be an infield fly Batter-runner is called out
Eliminates all force playsBase protects the runner hit by an infield fly
(but not in non-infield-fly situations)
Must be fair If the umpire is unsure, yell “If Fair, Infield Fly, Batter’s
Out”
Infield Fly Rule Rules 2.00, 6.05d, and 7.08f
![Page 86: Anderson Township Little League (ATLL) 2012 Umpire Coordinator : Lee Peterson (with umpire team members : Dave Wingard, Ben Swinerton, Tom Kyllo, Jim Gibbons](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56649e165503460f94b01814/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
If caught, play on as a normal situation If dropped, it’s like a “steal” situation.
Runners may advanced, but they’re not forced
The batter is not in the play (he is out)
Infield Fly Rule – 2 scenarios
![Page 87: Anderson Township Little League (ATLL) 2012 Umpire Coordinator : Lee Peterson (with umpire team members : Dave Wingard, Ben Swinerton, Tom Kyllo, Jim Gibbons](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56649e165503460f94b01814/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Important Notes – Rule 7.08(f):
If a runner is touched by an Infield Fly when not touching a base, both runner and batter are out.
If a runner is touching a base when touched by an Infield Fly, that runner is not out, although the batter is out.
However, in a non-infield-fly situation, base does not protect the runner on a fair ball.
