The Umpire Coordinator is responsible for assigning umpires to games, and for maintaining the umpire list. Umpire Assignment is very straightforward using MySoftballLeague.com, and umpires are automatically notified of and can view their assignments.

MySoftballLeague.com allows assigning strength ratings to umpires to help the umpire coordinator match the difficulty of the games with the strength of the umpires.

There are three modes of assigning that a league can choose from:

1. Assigning by the umpire coordinator only.
2. Request/Confirm - an umpire can request games to officiate, and the umpire coordinator confirms the request
3. Self-Assign - an umpire can self-assign to officiate a match.

Request/confirm and Self-Assign is only allowed for games within the comfort zone of the umpire's strength rating.

MySoftballLeague.com allows importing umpires from a list for leagues that have just signed up. There is also Umpire Payment assistance, where the Games Umpired Report can be exported into payment forms/records for individual umpires.

Field Umpire Coordinators can be assigned specific fields. They can only assign umpires to games on those fields.

The Match Secretary specifies for each division how assignments are done (Hosting League, Scheduling League, or No Umpires Assigned). See "Umpires Assigned By" under "Options" for more information on this option. The Umpire Coordinator should let the match secretary know which divisions have no umpires assigned. If the "No Umpire Assigned" option is selected for a division, then no umpire assignments can be made for games in that division.
