Calibration in umpiring is reviewing plays, in game scenarios, rule interpretations and video when available to guide the IBUA members into a like minded approach to these events which allows for more consistency among umpires and provides a more consistent game to game experience, regardless of the umpire(s) assigned to the game.

If you have a play, rule or scenario that you would like posted here and discussed, please submit it to me for posting at ibuawebmaster@gmail.com.
