7. Zero Tolerance Rules 1. Arguing Balls & Strikes
The Umpire can restrict you to the dugout first (warning)
He does not have to, he can just eject you
If you continue to argue balls and strikes after your restriction, you will be ejected
What does “restrict to the dugout” really mean?
You have to stay in the dugout EXCEPT for
Emergency situation (player / coach gets injured)
You can talk to your players and your coaches, not umpires
You will have to appoint an assistant coach to be acting head coach for the remainder of the game in order to challenge any rule interpretations on the field (you have forfeited that right with your restriction )

4. Challenging of a call / rule interpretation by anyone other than the Head Coach
The Head Coach is the only person on a team that can challenge a call / rule interpretation
If an assistant coach does, he/she can be subject to dugout restriction or ejection based upon umpire discretion

12. Coaching Rules Head Coaches:
Is the only person on a team who can challenge a call / rule interpretation on the field
Will be responsible for behavior of his/her staff
Will be responsible for behavior of his/her fans
Will be responsible for behavior of his/her players

13. Coaching Rules Assistant Coaches: CAN talk to the umpires
You can ask them to get help on a call
Do not think you cannot say anything, but any disagreement over calls has to come from the Head Coach, NOT you
CANNOT challenge rule interpretations
This is the Head Coaches job

14. Ejection Explanations
IF the Head Coach is ejected:
He/she will be required to leave the complex
Aka go to the parking lot
Will not be allowed back into the complex until after the next scheduled league game his/her team has completed
IF they are ejected for a second time in the same season, they will have to meet with the League Director before returning to the complex (if at all)

15. Ejection Explanations
IF an Assistant Coach is ejected:
He/she will be required to leave the complex
Aka go to the parking lot
Will not be allowed back into the complex until after the next scheduled league game his/her team has completed
IF they are ejected for a second time in the same season, they will have to meet with the League Director before returning to the complex (if at all)

16. Ejection Explanations
IF a PLAYER is ejected
They will be escorted by a parent/guardian from the complex (parking lot)
IF no parent / guardian is present, a coach will escort them and stay with them until a parent/guardian takes custody, then the coach can return
Will not be allowed back into the complex until after the next scheduled league game his/her team has completed
IF they are ejected for a second time in the same season, they will have to meet with the League Director before returning to the complex (if at all)

17. Ejection Explanations
If a FAN is ejected
If an umpire determines a fan needs to be ejected, they will call time, come find the site administrator and the site administrator will eject the fan
The Head Coach of the team the fan is from, will be ejected as well
The fan and the Head Coach will not be allowed back into the complex until after the next scheduled league game his/her team has completed
IF a fan is ejected for a second time in the same season, they will have to meet with the League Director before returning to the complex (if at all)
Each ejection for a fan counts as an ejection for the Head Coach. Therefore, if a fan from your team is ejected twice, the Head Coach will also have to meet with the League Director before returning to the complex (if at all)

18. Failure to leave after ejection
IF anyone who is ejected does not willingly leave the complex in a timely manner, the current game that team is playing in and the next game for that team, will be forfeited.
IF this occurs between game, the preceding game and the next game are forfeited

19. Some helpful tips Be patient with the umpires
It is EXTREMELY hard to not only get umpires, but to keep them
They have to develop just as we do as coaches
Many of us have been places where we have loved the umpires, they did not get to be that way overnight
