Welcome to the board.
Normally, I start off introducing myself and my partner, or if we're familiar with each other already, just shaking hands.
1) Go over time limits or number of innings
2) Any special rules you're playing by that night or tournament.
3) Any dead ball areas you are familiar with and any potential hazardous areas ( sprinkler heads, holes, etc.)
4) Injuries and how to handle them. I deal with the youth leagues mostly and always cover this. Get out there as quickly as possible and take care of it.
5) Get 'em on and off the field within the 1 minute time limit.
6) The proper way to handle discussions with my partner and me, ie don't cross that foul line until we call time for you.
7) All substitutions come through me, the PU
8) Get the jewelry off ( sometimes they even listen to this one. )
If I haven't run out of breath, and the time limit hasn't expired, I may cover a few more things, but this is what I generally discuss.
