FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- How do we find the San Diego Travel Baseball League website?
http://www.eteamz.com/sdtbl or http://www.eBaseballSanDiego.com and click on SDTBL
- League fee?
$225.00 per team. Plus $50.00 forfeit fee, refundable at the end of the season, or rolls over to the next season.
- What about team insurance?
All teams must show proof of team insurance. Your local league insurance will not suffiice. All medical coverage is secondary, however, should an injuried player's family not have medical coverage, then your team insurance will become primary. We recommend the you secure team insurance with Chappell Insurance. They will pro rate premiums for the league. http://www.chappellinsurance.com
PURCHASING TEAM INSURANCE IS THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR TEAM.
- Scheduling?
The league needs the following information:
a. Home field location.
b. Home field dates & times.
c. Bye dates (tournaments, vacations, Charger games, etc.)
THIS INFORMATION IS NEEDED ASAP.
- What if we don't have a home field?
Your team will have an away schedule (on the road) each week.
- Neutral fields?
The league has a couple of neutral fields where we can schedule two teams who don't have a home field.
- Are all of the games scheduled for Sunday?
All 12 and under teams will play on Sundays. There might be an occasional late saturday night (with lights). In the past, late saturday afternoon games under the lights seem to be very popular with many of the teams. 13U and above may play saturday games.
- Double headers?
Let us know if you can host or play double headers during the season, please indicate a date.
- Field rental?
League rules state that field rental fees should be shared equally (50/50) between the two teams. However, in past seasons, the majority of home teams seldom charge the visiting teams. If the field rental fee is charged to the visiting team, please let them know 48 hours before game time. It's just common courtesy.
- Umpire coverage and fees?
It is the home team's responsibility to arrange for umpire coverage for each game. Teams will share (50/50) the cost of an umpire. Teams should contact the umpire assignor at least three days before the game. Don't wait until the night before to contact an Umpire Assignor. More than likely, he won't be able to get you an umpire last minute.
We recommend that you work with the Umpire Assignor and secure coverage for the whole season, rather than schedule week to week.
- Who do we contact for an umpire?
The league has four umpire associations which are available for the teams.
a. USTBA So. Cal Umpires - Joe Butler, UIC, 619-823-1553 or Joebutler@socalblues.com
b. San Diego Umpire - Jerry Haward, UIC, 619-582-2706 or Umpirejer13@cox.net
c. HMLU - Monty Clark, UIC, 619-709-3511 or churchman91911@yahoo.com
d. North County eUmpires.com, John Sepesi, jjsepesi@yahoo.com
If you would like to use an indepedent umpire: (1) Make sure he has umpire insurance, otherwise, you will be liable for any injuries the umpire may have sustained during your game. (2) Your team insurance and league insurance will not cover an uninsured umpire. There are a couple of UNAUTHORIZED UMPIRE ASSOCIATIONS, which are not allowed to officiate in the league. PLEASE CHECK WITH THE LEAGUE DIRECTOR.
- Will there be an Upper and Lower Division in our age division?
The league will excerise its discretion as to the division of each age division. Normally, the 10u, 11u and 12u may have two divisions. The league will poll the coaches if they want to divide the divisions.

Yes, just let us know before the season starts, and the league will make every effort to accomodate your request.
- How do I find the league schedule?
Go to the league home page http://www.eteamz.com/sdtbl. On the left hand column is a menu of important leeague info. Click on the box labeled "Schedule" then click on your age division.
- How many games will we play?
The league guarantees a 10 game schedule, based, on your avialability to play. Season normally ends just before Christmas Vacation, however, if you need games in January the league will try and accomodate additional games.
- What happens if we need to cancel or forfiet a game?
Teams have a 48 hour window (from game time) to reschedule games. Team wishing to reschedule should contact the opposing team and league director as soon as possible. The league director will make every effort to find a replacement team. NO GURANTEES.
- No show and forfiet games--what happens?
If a team forfiets a game by NOT SHOWING AT GAME TIME OR AFTER THE 48 HOUR NOTIFICATION PERIOD, the forfeiting team loses its Forfeit Fee Deposit which goes to the umpire assigned to the game. An additional $50 forfeit fee must be submitted before the next game. A second forfeit will result in the banishment from the league.

The league plays by Major League rules, with a few league expections. USTBA tournament rules will be the standard for all rule interpretations. On the left hand menu you can find the league rules link.

You will receive a Coaches Update on a weekly basis regarding your division: updated coaches info, cancelled games, upcoming tournaments, teams looking for a game, team looking for players, players looking for game or any other pertinent information.
- Will there be playoffs in the league?
Every season we offer a playoff format for the team, and traditionally it never gets off the ground. However, we try again to offer playoff after Christmas Vacation.
