RULE 4:         TEAM MANAGERS:

1)      Any individual desiring to be a team manager must submit his/her name to the League Commissioner for consideration each year at the time of league sign up, even if they were managers the previous year. The league commissioner must submit to the Board, all applicants for team manager positions within his/her league after the league sign up closing date. The league commissioner and/or Board may opt to interview any or all of the applicants at their discretion. Every effort will be made to insure that each manager selected is of good character and representative of the purpose and objective of the Association as described by Dixie baseball and within the GUGYBA By-Laws. Team manager applicants in good standing, who managed a team or coached as an assistant the previous year will be given first consideration for team assignments.

2)      Team managers will be named by 2/3 vote of the Board. In the event that there are not enough qualified applicants to fill each team manager position, all vacancies will be filled by the Board at its discretion.

3)      A team manager may choose one assistant coach to be registered with Dixie baseball, from parents or legal guardians of players on his/her roster. Any assistant coaches chosen who do not have a child or legal dependent on the team roster must be submitted to the Board for approval. See Dixie Youth, Dixie Boys and Dixie Majors requirements for child abuse risk management.

4)      The team manager shall be held responsible for the actions and conduct of his coaches and players, and the Board will look only to him. Any manager or coach ejected from a game by an umpire shall be suspended from the following game. The manager shall have five (5) days to appeal his suspension or the suspension of his assistants by requesting a hearing before the Board. Any manager ejected twice during the same year will be suspended for the season.
