Eastwood Ryde <strong>Umpiring</strong> Convenor <strong>Manual</strong><br />
“to be used in conjunction with the <strong>Netball</strong> <strong>Australia</strong> NUDF”<br />
THE NEUTRAL UMPIRING SYSTEM<br />
HOW DOES NEUTRAL UMPIRING WORK?<br />
The umpiring system at Eastwood Ryde is NEUTRAL, which means you can’t umpire your<br />
own team. But the umpiring committee does its best to make sure umpires do not<br />
umpire their own club. This can be difficult in grades with multiple teams from one<br />
club, during forfeits, club umpiring swaps or in A grade.<br />
Teams will need to supply an umpire at the same time they play.<br />
The <strong>ERNA</strong> <strong>Umpiring</strong> Committee allocates teams to umpiring duties. Club <strong>Umpiring</strong><br />
<strong>Convenors</strong> should allocate Umpires to teams.<br />
All team allocations for Day Competition are available at the <strong>Umpiring</strong> Table on the day<br />
of competition and are not in the Fixtures Book.<br />
“AA” and National A Badged umpires are always considered NEUTRAL.<br />
Umpires learn their umpiring duty at the Umpire Table. The <strong>ERNA</strong> <strong>Umpiring</strong> Committee<br />
may move an umpiring duty up or down grades in the same time slot to maintain<br />
neutrality or for mentoring purposes. Umpires allocated by clubs may request to move<br />
up or down grades if a suitable swap is available.<br />
IF IT IS KNOWN THAT A PARTICULAR GAME IS GOING TO NEED STRONGER UMPIRES,<br />
THEN THE UMPIRING COMMITTEE NEED TO KNOW IN ADVANCE IN ORDER TO<br />
REARRANGE THE ALLOCATIONS.<br />
UMPIRES SIGNING ON<br />
The Umpires Table at Meadowbank Park will be outside the Physiotherapy Room<br />
(downstairs meeting room). At Brush Farm it will be in the <strong>ERNA</strong> Office.<br />
All umpires are to report to the Umpires Table at least 20 minutes prior<br />
to the commencement of the time slot.<br />
All umpires must correctly attach a Top Ryde City sponsor patch to their back with<br />
either Velcro OR pins in the top two corners of the patch before leaving the umpire<br />
room.<br />
IT IS THE CLUB’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE ALL THEIR<br />
UMPIRES TURN UP. IF AN UMPIRE DOES NOT TURN UP THERE<br />
WILL NOT BE ENOUGH PEOPLE AS UMPIRE ON DUTY TO RUN<br />
AROUND AND FIND YOU A REPLACEMENT. YOUR TEAMS WILL BE<br />
FORFEITING!<br />
