Incident Report Form

As an umpire, you may encounter situations during a game that require documentation, such as ejections, rule disputes, injuries, or unsportsmanlike conduct. Completing an incident report ensures that all relevant details are recorded accurately and can be referenced if needed.

When to File an Incident Report

You should complete an incident report if any of the following occur during your game:

Ejections – Players, coaches, or spectators removed from the game.

Unsportsmanlike Conduct – Verbal abuse, physical altercations, or excessive arguing.

Rule Disputes – Significant rule challenges that impact the game.

Injuries – Any injury requiring medical attention.

Game Interruptions – Field issues or external interference.

How to Complete the Report

When completing the report, be sure to:

Be clear and concise – Stick to the facts without opinions or emotions.

Include who, what, when, where, and why – Provide specific names, times, and actions.

Use objective language – Avoid personal interpretations; describe what you saw.

Submit the report within 24 hours – Timely reports help with accurate follow-ups.

Once completed, your report will be reviewed by the appropriate league or umpire association officials. If further action is needed, they will follow up with you for clarification.
