Particulars:
Men's games will use 2 umpires; women's will use 1; (no coed intramurals at this school).
ASA rules modified by some not-too-ridiculous league rules.
No stealing.

Hi, Larry. Missed you around here.
Emphasize mechanics and positioning; getting to and setting up to get the best look at the play while being prepared for subsequent action; use of the holding zones and generally staying out of the middle of the play.
Strike zone and when an appeal is to be made as opposed to an automatic call by the umpire
