Classification Criteria Support

Team Managers are responsible for maintaining current team and roster records in ScoreMonster for the following:

Team

  • Population criteria (city or school district)
  • Ballpark address
  • Business & Financial Manager address and contact info

Roster

  • Address
  • Date of Birth
  • Jersey number
  • Player level of experience
  • High School attended
  • Active status
  • Drafted status and team

*Note: Managers need to keep track of hometown rule players because they do not appear as exempt in ScoreMonster

League Secretaries are responsible for following up and ensuring team and roster information is fully completed.  League Secretaries should work with their team managers on understanding the MBA criteria requirements and steward them through the approval process.
