7. UMPIRING
As always, let?s treat the umpires with courtesy and respect. Umpiring is a difficult job and players should support all umpires at all times.
·
The
future and success of the competition depends on the willingness of people to
umpire games.
· Clubs will be expected to provide an umpire for each grade in the match their team is not playing in.
· Games have been allocated based on the number of teams each club has in the competition.
· Clubs who do not provide umpires for the games they have been allocated will be fined as specified in the Bylaws.
· In the situation of a rostered umpire arranging a substitute who fails to meet the umpiring commitment, any penalty will be applied to the club of the rostered umpire.

In the event of wet weather, games may be postponed / cancelled at the recommendation of the Grounds Coordinator & Umpires Convener if available and endorsed by the Executive. They will ring a representative from each club when such a decision has been made.

10. COMPLETION OF MATCH BOOK
(See example)
· Each Team Manager/Captain will be supplied with a Match Book.
· It is the captains/team managers responsibility to ensure this book is completed correctly and signed by both captains and umpires at the end of the game.
· Write your own team?s name first at top of the page.
· Please write clearly the following;
- NAMES IN FULL (Surname first & Christen name last)
- PLAYERS CORRECT SHIRT NUMBER
- INDICATE WHO WAS GOALIE for the GAME.
· DO NOT INCLUDE NAMES OF PLAYERS WHO DID NOT PLAY
(cross them out if they didn?t play)
· Completed Match Book Sheets must be placed in the container provided in the clubrooms at the end of the game.
· Injury reports need to be included on match sheet reports.
· The Bylaws provide for clubs to be fined for failure to complete Match books correctly.
NOTE;
It is important that this information is true, correct, clear and decisive as this is the information that is cross referenced with the MVP votes.
If the information is not correct in any way and a player has been awarded votes by the umpires, they may miss out in receiving these points.
This in turn may alter the count at the end of the season and could be the difference in receiving any awards that a player could have been eligible for. (This could be you)
Please ensure that all the above mentioned points are followed as it makes the Match Convener?s job a lot easier. Penalties will apply as per By-Laws for incomplete and/or incorrect score sheets handed in.
