UMPIRES - New FILLABLE Umpire Ejection/Incident Report now available
To help facilitate better timing and submission of Ejection Reports, we have created a new fillable PDF Umpire Ejection Report form that will allow you to fill out the form following the game on your computer, save the file, and then submit it to actdirlegion@windstream.net as an attachment to your email.  No more handwriting the form and mailing/faxing it in...unless of course, that is your preference!  Thanks HP!
