Umpire Casebook

To become a well-rounded umpire, one requires a partnership of all officiating components. One component is the certification program, Levels I-IV, which strongly emphasize preventative officiating techniques; psychology; communication and evaluation skills; mental preparation; two, three, and four umpire mechanics; and rule knowledge.

A casebook is another component of the Softball Canada - National Officials Program. A thorough knowledge of the Softball Canada playing rules will strengthen an official's umpiring skills and enhance personal confidence on the field. The primary focus and effort of this component publication is to promote consistency in rule interpretations by describing situations and addressing their rulings as interpreted by the Officiating Development Committee of Softball Canada.

Please note that the Softball Canada umpire Casebook is the copyright property of Softball Canada and any use without the expressed written consent of Softball Canada is strictly prohibited.

The casebook is updated on a continual basis by providing amended or new rule interpretations. If you have any special situation that requires a ruling, please follow the protocol which can be found under Rule Interpretations for resolution.
