SUMMARY:NFHS Test Review
DESCRIPTION:This is for All Tiers: Apprentice\, C-Tier\, B-Tier\, A-Tier and T-Tier \nNBUA 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. \n\nMake sure you have your NFHS 2022 Rules Book and the NFHS 2022 Case Book.  \nIf you do not have access to the NFHS 2022 Rules Book and Case Book\, Click Here\nRecommend you download the 2022 WOA Baseball Study Guide\, Click Here\n\n\nIn 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. \nThis year\, we will adopt a similar format as best we can considering the virtual environment\,  \n\nWe will split into 8 groups (depending on the first letter of your last name as specified in the table below).  \nEach group is allocated a page of the 9-page study guide (starting with page 2).  \nWe will allocate 20 minutes for each member to study and answer the questions on their assigned page.  \nThen 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.\nWhen 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.\n\n\nNote that we will keep a running log of the answers visible throughout the session.\nThis 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.   \n\nTraining Plan:     \n  \n\n\n\n6:30-6:40pm\nIntroduction and description of the training (H. VonJouanne and G. Campbell)\n\n\n6:40-7:00pm\nIndividual Rules Review – each umpire will study and answer questions depending on the first letter of their last name. \n  \nPage 1:  Concussion Protocol and Pitch Count (answered by anyone in the group) \nPage 2-9:  NFHS Rules Questions – split into 8 groups to answer the questions. \n·         If your last name starts with T\, U\, V\, W\, X\, Y\, or Z answer the questions on Page 2. \n·         If your last name starts with Q\, R\, or S answer the questions on Page 3. \n·         If your last name starts with N\, O\, or P answer the questions on Page 4. \n·         If your last name starts with K\, L or M answer the questions on Page 5. \n·         If your last name starts with H\, I\, or J answer the questions on Page 6. \n·         If your last name starts with E\, F\, or G answer the questions on Page 7. \n·         If your last name starts with C or D answer the questions on Page 8. \n·         If your last name starts with A or B answer the questions on Pg 9.\n\n\n7:00-9:00pm\nRules review as a group.     \n·         Page 1: (Concussion and Pitch Count) answered by anyone in the group. \n·         Page 2:  answered by last names starting with T\, U\, V\, W\, X\, Y\, or Z \n·         Page 3:  answered by last names starting with Q\, R\, or S \n·         Page 4:  answered by last names starting with N\, O\, or P \n·         Page 5:  answered by last names starting with K\, L\, or M \n·         Page 6:  answered by last names starting with H\, I\, or J \n·         Page 7:  answered by last names starting with E\, F\, or G \n·         Page 8:  answered by last names starting with C or D \n·         Page 9:  answered by last names starting with A or B \n  \nNOTE:  We will keep a running log of the answers visible throughout the session. \nNOTE:  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.

SUMMARY:2022 General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Fellow Members of NBUA\, \nAs we move into 2022 with expectations of success and fun on the diamond\, we look forward to the chance to umpire baseball with our brethren umpires and friends. \nOn Monday\, January 24th at 6:30 PM\, your Northwest Baseball Umpires Association will hold its 2022 Annual General Meeting. You will be appraised of the state of the Association from your Board members and committee chairmen. \nThis meeting usually marks a chance to see our friends and reconnect and the start of our season but\, because of circumstances\, the meeting will be held virtually via Zoom\, the application we will be using for many meetings and training. A link to logon to the meeting will be sent to you soon. \nIt is not necessary to install the Zoom application. Your device will open a web browser when you click on the meeting link and\, after entering your name so we can track attendance\, you can simply click “join”. However\, you will have better access to some of the tools if you install the Zoom application via this link for Android devices: https://zoom.us/support/download?os=android  or this link for Mac devices: https://zoom.us/support/download?os=mac \nIf you’re new to Zoom and/or want to learn useful tips\, they are available here: https://learning.zoom.us/pages/27/home \nThe good news is you don’t have to watch any of the instructional videos or\, essentially\, do anything other than clicking on the invitation link\, but it helps to be somewhat familiar with navigating in Zoom. Go ahead and open Zoom and invite a couple of fellow umpires in for a rules discussion or connect with a cross-country relative or friend for a video chat! \nWe’re looking forward to seeing you at our 2022 General Meeting! \nFor your NBUA Board of Directors\, \nPeyton \n206 280 8633

SUMMARY:Games - Apprentice\, App2\, C-Tier and B-Tier
DESCRIPTION:We are trying to get it set up so that there will be games to observe.  The idea is that the lower tier umpires will have a chance to observe actual games being worked by upper tier umpires.  In the best case\, you will pair with your mentors and go to a game\, sit in the stands and watch how it’s supposed to be done.  You should be able to get in on the pre and post game meetings to some extent as well.  E-mails will be sent out to let folks know what games will be available.  Park rules have to be taken into consideration as some parks won’t allow spectators.

SUMMARY:Field Mechanics - Apprentice\, App2 and C-Tier
DESCRIPTION:This was going to be the cage training but the northshore facility is closed for the pandemic.  Instead\, we will be working on some sort of plate mechanics training as part of the field mechanics training at both sessions today.  Bring your full plate gear for this.  If you don’t have plate gear\, talk to your mentor about borrowing something. \n(B-Tier umpires used to be included in this but they have been removed due to COVID protocols to reduce crowding) \nOnce again we ask the A-Tier and Tournament Tier umpires to volunteer to help the instructors.
