Umpire's Corner
Umpiring? Who does that then?
All teams have to provide umpires, since the teams
from one league umpire the matches played by opposite league. Every match
is overseen by two umpires. Each team has a set of umpire 'slots' as part
of the fixtures. Failure of a team to provide an umpire at the allotted
time is regarded as very bad form and carries an automatic points penalty.
I'd like to have a try at umpiring
You're a star! Umpires are always needed.
If you've played in the previous season and you have a good
knowledge of the rules, you should be o.k. to do this.
On the day, what do I need to umpire?
- A copy of the rules (see the Download section)
- A clipboard
- A watch
- Something to write with
- A blank score sheet (see the Download section)
