This is for All Tiers: Apprentice, C-Tier, B-Tier, A-Tier and T-Tier

NBUA Umpires – The NBUA training schedule usually devotes one session to a review of the High School Rules test study guide.  This year is no different; however, this year we will execute the training in a virtual environment.  This will require some preparation, so we all get the most out of the training.

• Make sure you have your NFHS 2022 Rules Book and the NFHS 2022 Case Book.  
• If you do not have access to the NFHS 2022 Rules Book and Case Book, Click Here
• Recommend you download the 2022 WOA Baseball Study Guide, Click Here

• In recent years, we typically split into 10 groups for 20-30 minutes and each group discussed and answered the 5 questions allocated to their group.  Then we re-grouped and listened to a representative from each group answer their 5 questions. 
• This year, we will adopt a similar format as best we can considering the virtual environment,  
  • We will split into 8 groups (depending on the first letter of your last name as specified in the table below).  
  • Each group is allocated a page of the 9-page study guide (starting with page 2).  
  • We will allocate 20 minutes for each member to study and answer the questions on their assigned page.  
  • Then we will re-group and proceed through each question.  We will read the question, then query the members for an answer.  Please only offer an answer for the page you’ve been assigned.  This maximizes the number of members who can respond and contribute.
  • When we are reviewing your assigned page and you wish to respond, please “raise your hand” and wait to be acknowledged or type answer in chat.
• Note that we will keep a running log of the answers visible throughout the session.
• This virtual environment provides plenty of challenges for this type of training.  We hope the plan we’ve set-up lends itself to an informative and enjoyable session with good participation.  Thanks for your support.
