From: Roger L. Blake, Assistant Executive Director
Re: Mandatory 2008 Rules Interpretation Meetings
You are requested to attend one of the rules interpretation meetings listed
below. As the individuals and associations who are responsible for the
training of high school baseball and softball officials, you know the
importance of statewide consistency in the interpretation and application of
the rules. These meetings are crucial to that endeavor, as well as to your
work in instructing the officials who are members of your local
associations.
Attendance at one of these meetings is mandatory for your association. The
State CIF, supported by the ten sections, requires that the instructional
chair, or designee, of each association attend this informational meeting.
Fulfillment of this requirement is one condition of maintaining your
association's accreditation. Associations that fail to attend one of the
meetings, their membership will not be eligible for post-season playoff
assignments at the section and state level. If your association is a
"multi-sport" organization, please be sure that your baseball and softball
instructional chair, or designee, attends.
Ken Allan, the State CIF Baseball Rules Interpreter, and Vince
Rosse, the
CIF Softball Rules Interpreter will lead these meetings and present
information received at the National Federation Rules Interpreters Clinic
held in Indianapolis in January, including discussion of new rules and
points of emphasis. The continuing role of officials and the State CIF
sportsmanship program, "Pursuing Victory with Honor" will also be a topic of
discussion so that officials are equipped to advance and enforce this very
important statewide priority for all sports.
If you are unable to attend, or are no longer involved in the instructional
work of your local association, please pass this letter on to those who have
instructional responsibility in your area.
