SUMMARY:Board Nominations are Open
DESCRIPTION:This is your call for candidates for election to the NBUA Board of Directors. \nThis election cycle\, two board positions are open for a 3-year opportunity and three board positions are open for a 2-year opportunity to serve your fellow members.

SUMMARY:3-man Mechanics
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, most of us spend the first two months of the year working 2-man games and then\, suddenly\, during the high school playoffs\, when everybody gets super concerned over every call you make\, we switch to 3-man mechanics.  This is our yearly class to try and make the transition easier.  The class is aimed at the A-Tier and T-Tier (Tournament) umpires who will be assigned those playoff games\, but anyone is invited to participate. \nThis will be a virtual meeting via Zoom.  Details will be sent out beforehand.  If you don’t get them\, just as your training coordinators.
