Ejection / Incident Reports

1 First step: Text message

Send a brief text message immediately after the game to report the ejection. Do this before you change & leave the game site after the game (if your safety is threatened, drive to an offsite location where you feel safe and then text). Do not include a narrative about the ejection in your text message. Just include the reason for the ejection (malicious contact, profanity, arguing balls & strikes; unsportsmanlike conduct, fighting, other (specify)).

2 Second step: e-mail report

Click on one of the links below to send an e-mail report of the ejection. The e-mail report must be sent before 9:00pm the same day.

Note: Once we review the report, we will let you know when you can submit it to CIF-SS.

Reporting Other Incidents

Any significant unusual incident or field condition that OCBOA or the schools need to know about should be reported as an incident report on the CIF-SS website within 24 hours. Go directly to the CIF-SS website to report (there is no need to send a pre-emptive text message).

CIF-SS Incident Reporting:

(Password is 123; select “Incident“)

Post-game ejection scenario: If there is an incident after umpires leave the playing field involving a player, coach, or other member of team personnel that would have been an ejection had it occurred on the field, treat it as an ejection (text as above; choose e-mail link Ejection for Other).

Future game concerns: For potential problems between the same teams in a future game, please report via text to David Lewis (714-931-1263), so umpires can be alerted prior to the next game.

For questions or assistance, please contact OCBOA.
