NEW SITE!
All personnel working as Public Address Announcers must remember that each District 52 Tournament game is to be treated as a game played at a neutral site. No type of favoritism, unsportsmanlike or unbecoming behavior is to be exhibited or encouraged by the Public Address Announcer. Do not use the PA while the ball is in play, or when the pitcher is about to pitch the ball. Music is only permitted between half-innings, and should be at a moderate volume. Do not use the PA System as a personal open mic for their own amusement or agenda, and do not do “color commentary” or “play-by-play” announcing like they do on TV.

No reference as to whether the player is a “starter” or” substitute” should be made.
And now the home team.
(Note: For sectionals/state, the first time two teams play announce the players on each team in an alternating fashion so they can exchange pins when they walk out.)

1st Base: ______________________

3rd Base: _____________________
Right Field Line: _____________________

Please stand for the National Anthem.
After the anthem: Players, please return to your dugout. Managers, please meet with the umpires at home plate.
During the game announce players' names and numbers as they walk to the plate. If you are late, it’s ok to wait until after the first pitch to do the announcement. Do not indicate what position in the batter order they are. Announcement defensive substitutions after they are recorded by the umpires.
If an "improper" player approaches the plate to bat, announce the player who is physically stepping into the batter's box, not the player who is due up. Announcers, Scorekeepers, and Umpires should not call attention to either team that a player is batting out of turn.
