Field Preparation Guidance

Home Team Responsibilities:

1.  50/50 Raffle - Buckets with tickets and prices are in the score booth.  The person(s) doing 50/50 should begin no later than the first inning.  They will go to both sides of the bleachers (or Tee Ball/Machine Pitch Loop) to collect money from the fans.  50% of the pot collected will go to the winning ticket that is drawn and 50% will be placed in an envelope and deposited in the 50/50 box in the score booth for the league.  It is helpful to have the announcer report the pot total in between innings.

2.  Official Scorekeeper - This can be done using the team's GameChanger app.  Here are some resources for how to keep score:
