Rules for Interactions with Umpires (from WSSA Manual Rule 2.4)
- A player who violates acceptable conduct and/or sportsmanship...will be warned by the umpire along with his team manager, opposing manager, and any board member in attendance that the behavior and/or language is unacceptable and will not be tolerated should it occur again. The player, his manager, opposing manager, and umpire must be informed when or if a second occurrence on the same day of the warning results in that player being ejected and not allowed to continue play.
- If the ejection occurs in the first game of a double-header, the player may not participate in the second game as well. The player will also be suspended for the next two (2) play dates. The player must immediately leave the field, dugout, and premises. Failure to do so may result in a forfeiture of the game.
- A second ejection will result in a suspension of the player for the remainder of that play date and the next six (6) play dates.
- A third occurrence would result in suspension for the remainder of the season to include all games and WSSA association events, with no refund of fees paid.
- Only a Manager or Assistant Manager can register a complaint with an umpire. This applies to all calls on the field, either rules interpretation or proper application of the rule when seeking an over-turning by an umpire. Managers/Assistant Managers may engage the umpires in discussions concerning a proper application of a rule.
- Players should not demean or defame another player, umpire, or spectator; make threats of physical harm or intend to injure another player, umpire, or their property, or the property of the city or county. Any player accosting an umpire over a call or showing disrespect to umpire or another player per the above may be ejected by the umpire without prior warning.
