AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF DENTON PARKS AND RECREATION
DEPARTMENT AND NORTH TEXAS UMPIRE ASSOCIATION
The City Of Denton Parks and Recreation Department (hereinafter "PARD") of Denton,
Texas and the North Texas Umpire Association (hereinafter "NTUA") enter into the
following Agreement:
1. CONTEST
A. The NTUA agrees to officiate and provide scorekeepers for the 2008 Adult Slow-
Pitch Seasons for Men, Women and Coed ASA softball games and Girls Softball
Seasons for 14U, 12U, and 10U Fast-Pitch, 8U Coach Pitch, and 6U T-ball
games that are scheduled by PARD at North Lakes and Denia Softball Complex,
Denton, Texas.
B. The start date is March 2008 and runs through December 2008.
C. PARD will provide NTUA with a schedule of games depicting leagues and their
field assignments for the season. NTUA will receive this information at least one
(1) week before the season begins. PARD will also provide NTUA with the
league's current rules and regulations that are modified from the current
Amateur Softball Association (ASA) rules.
D. NTUA will schedule officials so that the ability level of the official will match or
exceed the level of league play on each field. NTUA will provide up to two (2)
umpires for and one (1) scorekeeper for the Adult and Girls Softball Leagues for
each game.
1) Optimally, each field will have two (2) umpires, but when that is not possible
or not required, NTUA will insure that the official working alone will be a
qualified umpire.
2) The Umpire-In-Charge (UIC) scheduled for each night will ensure that the
officials assigned to each field are capable of working that particular level of
play.
2. PAYMENT
A. In consideration of such services, PARD will pay NTUA the following rates:
1) $46.00 per game for Adult Softball Men's, Women's and Coed Divisions
to provide two (2) umpires and one (1) scorekeeper.
2) $39.00 per game for the Adult Coed For Fun Division to provide one
(1) umpire and one (1) scorekeeper.
3) $68.00 per game for the Girls Fast Pitch Divisions to provide two (2)
umpires and (1) scorekeeper.
4) $43.00 per game for the Girls Coach Pitch Division to provide one (1)
umpire and one (1) scorekeeper.
5) $10.00 per game for the Girls T-Ball Division to provide one (1)
scorekeeper only.
AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF DENTON PARKS AND RECREATION
DEPARTMENT AND NORTH TEXAS UMPIRE ASSOCIATION
B. Payment Determination
Both parties will determine the payment to be the calculated number of games
scheduled for each particular league times the specified rate of $68.00, $46.00,
$43.00, $39.00 or $10.00. In instances when umpires or scorekeepers only
receive (1) game in a night, the rate will be multiplied by 1.5.
C. Schedule of Payment
PARD will make the full payment for the total expected amount for estimated
services no later than 14 days after the first game of each season.
D. If NTUA provides only one (1) official for a game that requires two (2), then PARD
will be credited $8.00 for each game that has one (1) official working alone.
This credit can be used during the current season or during the next season.
E. If PARD gives notice of forfeits in advance and this reduces the amount of time an
umpire is required to be at the fields, then NTUA will provide a full credit for that
particular game. For example, if the first game of the day or the last game of the
day is canceled for a particular umpire, then PARD will be entitled to a credit. If a
middle game is canceled, which results in the umpire still needing to stay on the
fields the entire time, PARD will not be entitled to a credit. PARD will give notice of
forfeits by 3:00 pm for the same day for evening games.
3. OFFICIALS
NTUA represents officials that are, or will be by the date of the contest, a duly
registered umpire who is a member in good standing of the ASA.
4. INTERPRETATION
The Constitution, By-laws and rules and regulations of ASA and of NTUA are
considered a part of this agreement and shall govern, except as modified by this
Agreement, anydisputes arising out of this Agreement. Both parties to the
Agreement agree to be so bound.
A. When PARD offers a "coaches meeting", PARD will notify NTUA of the date,
time, and place of the coaches meeting. A representative from NTUA will be
required to attend the meeting to explain new rules, game procedures to the
coaches, and discuss how on-field disagreements will be handled.
5. VOIDING OF AGREEMENT
This agreement shall become null and void upon the demise of either organization.
This agreement may be canceled at any time by the mutual written consent of both
parties upon 30 days written notice. This agreement is void if either party cannot
comply with its terms.
