Thank you again for being an umpire, it is greatly appreciated! Below you will find the information for Umpiring Minors and Majors Baseball this summer:

GETTING STARTED

You can also call our office at 218-773-8000. Information can be found below on how games are scheduled and how to get set up on Refr, our scheduling and payment app.

GAME SCHEDULE
Games will be posted online on Refr weekly. Please email the Recreation Coordinator with any games that you would like to work.

USING REFR
East Grand Forks utilizes Refr Sports for scheduling and paying umpires. Please see the information below on how to create an account on Refr, set up payment information, and link to an assigner (Listed as "East Grand Forks Youth").

You must have an account created on Refr before you can be paid for any games worked. Please make sure to complete the final step (Pairing with an Assignor) as well. We cannot assign you games on Refr (or pay you) until you request to join our referee pool by pairing with an assignor. When searching for an assignor, search by city or search for "East Grand Forks Youth."

If you run into any issues, please contact John, the Recreation Coordinator at [email protected]

Umpire Resources

Our games will use the 2-umpire system whenever possible. Here is a great link to a short explanation of the basics of the 2-umpire system that we would like all umpires to review: 307 Umpires - 2 Man Mechanics

In the case of only 1 umpire being available, they can call the game from either behind the pitcher's mound or from behind home plate, whichever they prefer.

Umpire gear is provided and is stored in the Shed at Itts Williams. The code for the Itts Williams Shed is included in the notes on the Refr App for each game assignment.
