4. Incident Report UIL As Required


Felony Conviction FormRequired by UIL, every Chapter member must complete a form indicating whether or not the member has any felony convictions. Based on when the conviction was and what it was for will determine whether UIL will allow the individual to officiate UIL sanctioned games. The purpose of this form is for both liability purposes and to identify individuals with specific felony convictions. UIL’s purpose is to minimize the risk of sexual predators officiating in a school environment. This is the reason for background checks.

The Chapter officer receiving the report will determine if a formal incident report is required.

Chapter officers shall be contacted in the following order:

1. President2. Assignment Secretary3. Vice President4. Treasurer5. Any other Board Member

Other required reporting will be determined based on the initial oral report. The following incidents are included but not limited to automatic “Must Report” incidents:

Failure to ReportAny situation that requires an Incident Report must be reported via a UIL incident report.

Game AssignmentsThe following provides general information regarding game assignments.

Criteria for AssignmentsAll game assignments shall be made by the Assignment Secretary. Assignments will be made using officials availability information, any scratches sent to the Chapter/UIL by the coaches, and their ability to call the game assigned. Members who have a grievance or complaint regarding their schedule should address the grievance to the Assignment Secretary. While the Assignment Secretary receives evaluations and comments from other Board Members and officials regarding the competence of officials, the Assignment Secretary ultimately makes all decisions on game assignments.

Never in the past eleven (11) years in the ECUA Chapter has an official in good standing not received game assignments during the course of the season. However, all members should understand that per UIL directive, the Chapter has no legal obligation to assign any games to officials whether in good standing or not.

The selection as to who receives playoff assignments or which playoff assignment is made to who is made by the Assignment Secretary. They will solicit input from Board Members and other senior officials about the abilities of various officials however; the decision for game assignments is determined by the Assignment Secretary. All criteria for eligibility for playoffs must be met. Not all eligible members will be assigned playoff games.

Scrimmage AssignmentsThe Assignment Secretary will assign scrimmages to members of the Ellis County Chapter. Assigned scrimmages will be considered a game assignment and are subject to the same attendance requirements as regular season games. Each member who works assigned scrimmages will be given credit(s) that may be applied to dues, fees and/or fines. The amount of credit will be determined by the Board. Each member will receive a mileage rate of $10.00 for each assigned scrimmage and will be held in escrow and will be paid out or applied to dues, fees and/or fines at the end of the year. Weather permitting; each member must work two (2) scrimmages – one weekday and one Saturday to be in good standings. The Board will rule on scrimmage credits and eligibility. A subsequent 3rd and 4th scrimmage date will count towards one (1) missing meeting attendance date if needed to meet attendance criteria.

Game Turnbacks – Cancellations or DeclinesGame assignments are made on the Arbiter. During the course of the season, there will be changes in game times, changes in officials’ availability, weather issues and many other variables that affect assignments of officials to games. In order to ensure communications between the Assignment Secretary and officials, and ensure that the officials assigned are the officials that are expected to be at the game, the Chapter has adopted these procedures.


When accepting game assignments; consider the following:

Turnbacks by OfficialGame assignments made in accordance with an officials’ stated availability are the responsibility of the assigned official. After game assignments are accepted, should an official turnback an assignment, a turnback fine shall be levied by the Chapter and given to the Assignment Secretary. The fines are:

1. Turnback – after acceptance & prior to 24 hours of game time = $5.00/game2. Turnback – after acceptance & within 24 hours of game time = $10.00/game

**maximum of $30.00/day**

Should a game turnback be the result of an injury or a bona fide emergency, the Board may elect to waive the game turnback fee. The act of leaving a message or leaving a message with another party as a replacement doesn’t constitute cancellation. You must contact the Assignment Secretary to provide notice of cancellation.

Decline by OfficialGame assignments posted on the Arbiter will provide the official the opportunity to Accept or Decline by a certain date. If for any reason the Official declines a game assignment or neglects to Accept by the date, the game(s) will be assigned to someone else and your name will go to the bottom of the list for availability for games that day.

Cancellation by SchoolWhen schools cancel games and the Chapter is notified, the Assignment Secretary will make every effort to notify all assigned officials. Leaving a message on voice mail, texting and answering machine within a reasonable time shall constitute proper notification by the Chapter to the Official. In the event the school doesn’t notify the Chapter of the cancellation, the officials shall notify the Assignment Secretary and submit a pay sheet for the mileage and one game fee to the Assignment Secretary – provided the Official actually drove to the game site. If the Chapter fails to notify the officials of a game cancellation and they drive to the game site, each Official shall be paid by the Chapter the mileage they would have received if they had worked the games. If the Chapter incorrectly assigns officials to a game, which isn’t on a school’s schedule or provides the incorrect date to the officials, the Chapter shall be responsible for reimbursement of mileage they would have received if they had worked the game.

Accepting Game AssignmentsThe following policies and procedure apply to accepting game assignments.

Schools served by the ECUA are required to pay officials according to the UIL fee schedule for 2014 (or negotiated flat fees if applicable) and to reimburse drivers according to the mileage rates provided.


Failure to ShowThe fine for failing to show up for an assigned contest once that assignment has been accepted is equal to the game fee for each game not officiated which he/she would have received had he/she worked the game(s).

Upon notification of a failure to show up situation, the Assignment Secretary will advise the President or Vice-President who will then notify the official who failed to show up by phone and in writing of the amount of the fine and notification they will not be in “Good Standing” status. The official has seven calendar days in which to pay the fine to the Assignment Secretary who made the assignment. Failure to pay the fine within the seven calendar days will result in cancellation of any remaining game assignments. An official who fails to show up for a second game assignment in a season shall be immediately dropped from membership in the Chapter, all game assignments cancelled and written notification of the action will be made to the state governing body.

Working AloneIf the game(s) is played with only one official because of the failure of the co-official to show, the official who worked the game(s) by themselves shall receive one half of the fine assessed to the “no show” official and the other half of the fine will be deposited in the Chapter’s bank account and used as seen fit by the Board. On those rare occasions when there are insufficient officials and only one official is assigned to work – that official shall receive normal game fees plus $15.00 per game credit paid by the Chapter and applied to any dues, fees and fines. Schools shall not be charged for double-fees. Failure to show by officials is the responsibility of Ellis County Umpires Association.

ScratchesThe UIL scratch policy will be observed. The Board will notify those members to make them aware of scratches and/or requests from coaches asking not to send a particular official to their games. With this notification it is still possible for the official to see that particular school at another site and/or tournament and ECUA expects that official to show the utmost professional courtesy toward the school, administration and players.

Changing Game AssignmentsThe following policies and procedures apply to changing game assignments.

Changing AssignmentsOnly the Assignment Secretary or in their absence, the President and/or Assistant Scheduler may make game assignments. No official will either change assignments with another official or request another official to “cover” an assignment for them. No official will accept an assignment from anyone other than those identified in the first sentence of this paragraph. To do otherwise, will subject both officials involved to fines. If the game(s) was a Varsity contest(s),


both members will be assessed twice the fine outlined above in the “Failure to Show” paragraph. If the game is a sub-varsity contest(s), the official originally assigned to the contest will be fined in accordance with the No-Show provisions above.

Contact Between OfficialsEach official has the responsibility for contacting their co-official for the purpose of confirming the assignment, time, site and who will contact the coach(s). Such contact should be made approximately 24-48 hours prior to the starting time of the first scheduled game. If officials have agreed to ride together and an official is not at the appointed departure point ten (10) minutes after the agreed upon meeting/departure time, the official who is present will depart and proceed to the game site. The late official will travel on their own to the game site.When a change of one official is necessary within 48 hours of the scheduled game, the replacement official is responsible for initiating contact with the originally assigned official. When a change of both officials is necessary within 48 hours of the scheduled game, then each official has responsibility for contact. Upon arrival at the game site and prior to changing into uniform, one or both officials shall make contact with the coach. Arrival time shall be at minimum thirty (30) minutes, preferably one (1) hour prior to game time.

Use of Electronic MediasThe use of and preferred media listed below may be used for contacting officials regarding game assignments, game cancellations or travel arrangements in accordance with the following rules.

1. Arbiter2. Text3. Voice Mail4. Email

ObligationWhen questions arise regarding responsibility for errors associated with assignments and an official has relied on an answering machine, voice mail or another person for transmission of a message relating to the error, the person who used those modes of “communication” shall always be deemed at fault. Officials must be aware that there are often changes in game assignments and if they have answering machines, voice mail or email, they are obligated to check these regularly – especially the day before the game assignment(s).

Game FeesThe following outlines game fees for 2014

Sub-Varsity game $45.00 per official + travel reimbursement

Varsity game $55.00 per official + travel reimbursement

Sub-Varsity Tournament game $40.00 per official no travel reimbursement


Varsity Tournament game $45.00 per official no travel reimbursement

Officials shall be paid travel reimbursement according to the metro plan:(A) Metro-flat rate of travel reimbursement from the center point in Chapter to game site.

20 mile radius = $1230 mile radius = $1540 mile radius = $18

(B) Non-Metro-some schools will be paying a mileage rate- per mile (given out by Trevor)

No Pay or Short PayIf after forty (40) days you haven’t received payment or were short paid for a game assignment, you must contact the Assignment Secretary. You will need to re-submit a pay sheet with all the information completed to the Assignment Secretary who will forward and contact the school. The Assignment Secretary will continue to follow-up with the official and the schools until payment is received. DO NOT CONTACT THE SCHOOLS DIRECTLY UNLESS GIVEN AUTHORITY BY THE ASSIGNMENT SECRETARY OR PRESIDENT.

Pre/Post Game ConferenceThe plate umpire is responsible to hold a pre-game conference with all officials immediately prior to any varsity game to go over situations and umpire responsibilities and conducting a post-game conference to discuss situations, mechanics and any issues that took place in the game. These should also be conducted when possible before and after sub-varsity games.

Conflict of InterestThis is an issue that has come to the forefront in the state of Texas. In some areas tournaments and post-season warm-ups are even being assigned by non-officials. UIL directives are very specific – all games falling under the auspices of UIL must be assigned by Chapter Assignment Secretary or by UIL. Coaches may request specific officials but all requests must go through Chapter Assignment Secretary. Per UIL directive the following situations constitute “solicitation”

An individual member SHALL NOT KNOWINGLY ACCEPT AN ASSIGNMENT:

Non-Secretary Assignments

Accept an assignment not assigned by a Chapter Assignment Secretary. UIL directives are very specific – all games falling under the auspices of UIL must either be assigned by Chapter Assignment Secretary or by UIL. Coaches may request specific officials but all requests must go through Chapter Assignment Secretary. Any member of the ECUA Chapter who either assigns such games or any official who accepts and works games not assigned by the Assignment Secretary are guilty of solicitation.

Not in Good Standing If the member isn’t a member in good standing


Employed by School If the official or the official’s spouse is employed by either school involved in the contest.

Related If the official is related by blood or marriage as follows: parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother, sister, brother-in-law, son-in-law, etc to a person affiliated with a team involved in the contest.

Friends with Coach If the official and any person affiliated with a team involved are former or present team mates, roommates, business associates or close personal friends.

Attended the School If the official or the official’s spouse attended or worked at a school within the last five (5) years or graduated from the school.

Child at School If the official has a child in school in one of the involved teams or a child who graduated from one of the schools within the past ten (10) years.

Member Responsibility Members are responsible for notifying the Assignment Secretary in writing of conflicts of interest with schools normally served by the Chapter. Must also Block those teams on the Arbiter

After The FactIn the event a conflict with these provisions becomes known after acceptance of the contest, the official shall make such conflict known to the Assignment Secretary as soon as practicable. The official shall be removed from the contest or tournament without penalty and both coaches notified if necessary. Exceptions: All above provisions can be waived except 1 and 2 by mutual consent of both head coaches if the facts of the Conflict of Interest are presented.

Official RankingsCurrently there won’t be a ranking system utilized in the Arbiter for scheduling games. If rankings are needed in the future, the Board will determine the values used for this purpose.

Post-Season Eligibility Criteria1. Must make a 92 or higher on both UIL exams2. Must attend UIL clinic if one if given by ECUA Chapter or UIL designation3. Must attend 80% of scheduled Chapter meetings (or met approved alternative criteria
