Updated February 4, 2010 Ejections

Over the years we as officials have become rather haphazard in regards to writing ejection reports. Both the BCBUA and Baseball BC have determined that this is an area of concern and is something that is going to be a major focus for the next several years. Not only is a report required after the incident for the purpose of reporting the situation to the proper authorities for further investigation and discipline, but we need to track the number of incidents that happen each year. A major source of frustration is when we know that a particular person has had problems both on and off the field, but there are no reports to back up this claim. Then when our association goes to the parent Baseball organization with our concerns they say there is no evidence in terms of reports to back up further discipline. Bottom line is that if the situation warrants and ejection, or even if the situation does not result in a ejection but is serious in nature, write a report.

The BCBUA has made this extremely easy to do as we now have an online ejection form that will send copies of the report directly to the people that can then track and forward the information to the correct authorities. Here is the link Ejection form. This link lives over on the left side Navigation Bar under the Online Forms Tab.

But how to actually write the report is always a concern. Here is an article that you can download and read that may help you write that report.

How to write an Ejection Report for the BCBUA 

Of course you can always talk to your local UIC or Area Director for more help. Again, if the situation warrants an ejection, the situation warrants an ejection report.

One of the most discussed issues at the recent AGM was the lack of a published Hey Blue! It was decided at the meetings to use the electronic version of Hey Blue!

Thus it is with great pride that the latest and biggest edition of Hey Blue! - Online is now available for download right here.

Updated November 1, 2009 Hey Blue! - Online Edition 5

Special thanks to Garrett James for his pictures in this edition. If you are one of the umpires shown, please send us a note and we will identify you in the next edition. Once again we are looking for stories and pictures of our members so if you have anything that you want to contribute, send it to either Brian or Steve. Thanks.
