I am 12 Years old (or younger)... Why Can't I register?  What is error "ineligible to complete form"

Baseball Ontario does not have any age restrictions however, there is a known error in the system that we are working with the developer to resolve.

For the short term:

• please enter the umpire’s proper month and day of birth,
 • Select 1924  as the birth year (which is the last year in the drop-down list).  
 • That will allow their profile to be created. 
 • We will send an email to the address associated with the account when the capability to enter the correct birth year is enabled.

Thanks for your patience as we transition to our new systems.
