Umpire Videos on Arbiter
The NFHS recently uploaded a series of Baseball Videos on mechanics and positioning for two-person and three-person crews. These videos may be used by individuals, groups of officials or local associations to educate the officials in the mechanics to be used on the field. Excellence in officiating is what we all strive to achieve with our officials, while emphasizing fairness and safety, and in a manner that enhances the stature of sports officiating. Videos can be found at the "Central Hub" of the www.arbitersports.com on the baseball page under the tab "videos." Be sure to review 3-person mechanics for the upcoming postseason.

Regional Seeding
Seeding for Classes 2-1A, 3A and 4A will take place on Wednesday, May 8 at 10:00 a.m. All schools should call and update their records that morning. Seeding is based on win/loss percentage (divide number of wins by games played). Regional hosts will seed the tournament and provide information to schools regarding location, date and time of games. When brackets are completed and received by the KSHSAA they will be posted on the KSHSAA web-site on the regional assignment page. Classes 5A & 6A will hold their seeding meeting on Saturday, May 11 at 10:00 a.m. Once brackets are forwarded to the KSHSAA they will be posted on the KSHSAA web-site. Games played after seeding day will count on the team’s state tournament seeding if they advance.

Regional Squad List Due
Schools are to submit their regional squad list (BSB-2) by, May 6. A copy of the regional roster is to be sent to the regional host via e-mail or fax. Information on BSB-2 will be transferred to BSB-4 the State squad list. This may be updated by noon the day after your regional tournament is complete. At that point the rosters will be sent to Royal Publishing for the program for the state tournament.

Umpire Recommendations Due
School administrators must submit their list of umpires recommended for post-season by May 8. Only umpires who have met the qualifications to be assigned post-season will be listed. Requirements are scoring 90% on the open book exam, attending the softball rules meeting and attending one area supervisor meeting.
