RESCHEDULING FOR RAIN OUTS OR ATTENDANCE GENERAL INFORMATION

Please visit the rolandparkbaseball.com homepage for the latest information. In general, the following three tabs on the RPBL website will be helpful in navigating all reschedules: 

1. The “Coaches Corner” tab in the upper right-hand corner of the homepage. See the “Game Cancellation and Rescheduling” dropdown tab. 

2. The “Coaches Corner” tab in the upper right-hand corner of the homepage. See the “Game Change Request Form” dropdown tab. 

3. The “Links – Calendar” tab located at the bottom of the RPBL homepage. 

Your Head Umpire contact is Andre. He can be reached at (410) 340-6612. 

Your RPBL Scheduler contacts are Drew and/or Brian, both of whom can be reached at rpblscheduler@gmail.com. 

GENERAL PROCEDURE

If you have to reschedule a game, please do the following: 

  1. Contact your opposing coach to get agreement and so that they can notify their players ASAP.
  2. Contact the Head Umpire so he can cancel the umpire assigned to the game.
  3. Review the “Links-Calendar” on the RPBL homepage to see what fields and dates might be available for a reschedule. Coordinate with your opposing coach. (PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME GAMES AND OTHER CONFLICTS, ESPECIALLY TRAVEL, WILL NOT BE LISTED IN THE CALENDAR. RESCHEDULES MUST BE APPROVED BY THE SCHEDULER. DO NOT ASSUME THE FIELD/TIME IS OPEN BASED ON THE CALEDAR ALONE).
  4. Submit three (3) proposed reschedule dates using the “Game Change Request Form” on the RPBL website. These dates should be agreed between both coaches. 
  5. Wait to hear back from the RPBL Scheduler on which date/field was available. The Scheduler will arrange your umpire for the new date. 


RAIN OUTS - POLICY NOTES

In general, it is up to you to decide whether to try to play a game. The league used to have a field notification system, but I do not believe it is operational at this time. Home team coach makes call whether to play at least 1 hour before game. Seek consensus with other coach, if possible. You must cancel the Umpire 1 hour before the game or they still get paid. If you start a game and then it gets rained out, don’t worry about it. Better to try to play than to unnecessarily reschedule.
