EJECTIONS If a head coach, assistant coach, player, or fan is ejected during a TEBA game, the head coach of the offending team must report the ejection to their Association TEBA Representative within 24-hours. The Association TEBA Representative then reports the ejection to TEBA Director within 24-hours. Ejections are subject to an automatic suspension of the offender for the next TEBA event (2 games). The next TEBA event does not include the event for which the offender was ejected. Appeals to the automatic suspension can be filed by email through your Association TEBA Representative. Appeals are reviewed by the TEBA Ejection Review Board (TEBA Director, Association TEBA Representative, TEBA Grievance Representative and Umpire in Charge for the game in question). The TEBA Ejection Review Board will make the final call on upholding or rescinding the suspension. If further disciplinary action is warranted, all association TEBA reps will be given detail of the ejection and asked for their vote on specific disciplinary actions. Unreported ejections will result in a minimum one-game suspension for the head coach of the offending team. RAINOUT RESCHEDULE PROCESS In the event of field closure due to inclement weather, the HOME team coach will contact the AWAY team coach - by phone call or text - as soon as field closure is announced. All coach contact information is available on Sportability. HOME team notifies their association TEBA rep who updates Sportability to reflect the game(s) as a ‘rainout’. Following their association procedure, HOME team coach provides AWAY team coach with possible reschedule dates. When mutually agreed upon date is determined, HOME team coach sends details (date, time, field) to HOME association TEBA rep. The HOME association TEBA Rep sends reschedule information to TEBA Director who will update Sportability. Information sent must include rained out game date, time and field as well as agreed upon reschedule date, time and field.
