Umpire Coordinator: League Umpire Settings

1. Send Umpire Assignment Email to: Select the league officer(s) who will receive automatic notifications by email when umpire assignment actions occur. Such actions include, for instance, when an umpire accepts or cancels an assignment, or when either the time or venue of a game with assignments are changed. You can also set this to "nobody", whereby no auto-email will be sent to any Umpire Coordinators after these actions.
If there are any Field Umpire Coordinators in your league, they will also appear on the list and can be selected. If one is selected, then all umpire assignment email concerning games on their field will ONLY be sent to them.
There is also a check box to notify coordinators about umpire assignment requests. This only has an impact if you are using the Request/Confirm method of assignment - if checked, messages will be sent when an assignment is requested, otherwise they will not be sent. For leagues using Request/Confirm, unchecking this box can greatly reduce email traffic for your Umpire Coordinators.

2. Umpire Assignment Method
 A. By League Only - Umpire Coordinator must manage assignments.
 B. Self-Assignment - an umpire can self-assign to games ("I'll Take It" button)
 C. Request/Confirm - an umpire can request assignment to games ("I'd Like It" button)

Self-assignments and requests can only happen for any game where there is still an open slot and as long as the umpire’s strength rating (See Umpire Strength) is equal to or greater than the difficulty rating of the game. The Umpire Coordinator will get an email each time a request or self-assignment is made. Of course, the Umpire Coordinator can always override a self-assignment.

3. Allow change at the season, competition, division and game levels - The above setting determines the default umpire assignment method for your league. However, you have the option of using different assignment methods for different games at the same time. If this box is checked, that option is available, and the default method can be overridden at the season, competition, division and individual game level.

4. Umpire Difficulty Offsets - Refers to the relative difficulty of officiating as an 1st base ump as opposed to home umpire.

5. Can Report Game Results - Designate which umpires can enter game results.

6. Umpire Pay Requires Game Results Report - If checked, then at least one umpire must enter game reports results in order to be paid for the game.

7. Umpire Assignment Deadlines - Cancellation or Request is blocked the amount of hours before the game starts.

8. Request Window - Requests or self-assignments cannot be made until the specified number of days before a game.

9. Reminder Window - A reminder will be sent to umpires the specified number of days before an assignment. Setting to 0 disables automatic assignment reminders.

10. Maximum number of affiliated umpires per team by play level - See Umpire Team Affiliation for more information.
