SB Regional Supervisors and Umpires *UPDATED MARCH 14*
Effective immediately we will go by NFHS rule code and allow ribbons as headwear for players. Rule 3-2-5 states, "Headwear (caps, visors, headbands, ribbons, etc.) may be mixed. If worn, they must be white, black, beige or school colors (the colors are not required to be the same for team members). The logo may be any color. Flat items, no longer than 2 inches, used to control the hair, such as bobby pins, barrettes and hair clips are permitted. Plastic visors, bandannas and hair-beads are prohibited."
We will be sending this information to our schools informing them that the restriction on wearing ribbons has been lifted.

Umpires: (posted 4/11/12)
Each year we run into situations regarding suspended games. There are provisions specific in the NCHSAA Handbook regarding suspended games, and NFHS rule code(s) also comes into play. I wanted to give you the following summary(s) to help you when you get into weather-related situations.
NCHSAA Handbook Regulation
SUSPENDED GAMES: North Carolina has adopted the suspended game rule, mandatory
in all regular season and state playoff games. "A game called for any reason, where
a winner cannot be determined will be treated as a suspended game. If the game is to be
completed it will be continued from the point of suspension, with the lineup and batting
order of each team the same as the lineup and batting order at the moment of suspension,
subject to the rules of the game. If more than 4 1/2 innings have been played and a winner
can be determined, the game is over (including playoff games)." After 5 innings, if the visiting team scores a tying or go ahead run in their top half of the inning and the home
team does not have an opportunity to bat or complete its time at bat, the game is treated
as a suspended game. If a game is called prior to the completion of a full inning after the
fifth inning, the game becomes a suspended game in the following situation: the visiting
team has scored one or more runs to tie the score or to take the lead, and the home team
has not tied the score or retaken the lead. PLAY - The sixth inning begins with score H-6,
V-5. Visitors score two runs in their half of the inning. Game is called because of rain
with (a) two outs in the bottom of the sixth and the score H-6, V-7; or (b) following the completion of the home team's turn at bat with the score H-6, V-7. RULING: In (a) the
game is suspended and resumed on the next possible date at the point of interruption. In
(b) the game is official, with the final score H-6, V-7. A suspended game does not count
against the weekly limitations in the week in which it is completed.
There is NFHS rule provision that comes into play when the home team scores tying or go-ahead runs in the bottom of the 6th inning and the game is not completed (game stopped due to weather before 3rd out is recorded in the bottom of the 6th)
BASEBALL - Rule 4-2-3
"If the game is called when the teams have not had an equal number of completed turns at bat, the score shall be the same as it was at the end of the last completed inning; except that if the home team in its half of the incomplete inning, scores a run (or runs) which equals or exceeds the opponent's score, the final score shall be as recorded when the game is called."
SOFTBALL -Rule 4-2-2b
"If play has gone beyond five full innings and is called when the teams have not had an equal number of completed turns at bat, the score shall be the same as it was at the end of the last completed inning; unless the home team, in its half of the incomplete inning, scores a run (or runs) which equals or exceeds the opponent's score, in which case, the final score shall be as recorded when the game is called."
I hope this information will be of service if you encounter these types of situations during your games.

Concussion Law: (posted 7/12/11)
Booking Agents and Officials
The last two (2) years the NFHS has been clear in its emphasis on concussion management. The NFHS Rules Power Points have all highlighted this, and the SUGGESTED GUIDELINES FOR MANAGEMENT OF CONCUSSION is included as an appendix in all rule books. There is a new North Carolina state law that mandates how athletes are to be treated by appropriate athletic training and licensed medical personnel. I am giving you this information as a re-emphasis on the seriousness regarding concussions and our responsibilities as officials. Coaches are also being reminded regarding the guidelines of return-to-play procedures they must follow before allowing the athlete to return to the contest.
As an official, if you observe or sense an athlete may be compromised, you are to guide/indicate (to) the athlete and the head coach to remove the athlete from the contest for them to “take a look” at the athlete. At that time, your responsibility for the athlete is complete. You are not a trained medical person who is responsible for diagnosing concussions. But, we do want you to be aware of the symptoms which may indicate an athlete has sustained a concussion (defined as a traumatic brain injury that interferes with normal brain function).
The symptoms as listed by the NFHS Rules are as follows:
Headache
Fogginess
Difficultly concentrating
Easily confused
Slowed thought process
Difficulty with memory
Nausea
Lack of energy, tiredness
Dizziness, poor balance
Blurred vision
Sensitive to light and sounds
Mood changes—irritable, anxious, or tearful
Appears dazed or stunned
Confused about assignment
Forgets plays
Unsure of game, score or opponent
Moves clumsily
Answers questions slowly
Loses consciousness
Shows behavior or personality changes
Let’s remember that the care and safety of our participants is always our number one guideline. The fact that a new state statute has been enacted indicates the public scrutiny regarding concussions and brain injury. I am giving you this information as we prepare for our upcoming seasons. I thank you in advance for your attention to this issue.
