Score Tracking
The score tracking pilot project has worked well. We thank all our member tournaments for sending in the scores from the event, and we also thank our volunteers who have been tracking everything behind the scenes to help balance our provincial draws later this month.
Issues Surrounding Music at the Park
After some early struggles it does appear that our members have understood our ask, and are refraining from using music with inappropriate lyrics during warm-up or for walk-up songs. We continue to ask that everyone comply with the request, so that there is no need to issue a rule that would ban music at the diamond. Please consider the opposition, and the game officials when using music. Always make sure to turn off the music well in advance of play commencing on the field.
