The Sign on sheets can be littered with all sorts of arrows and different colours of
highlighting which can be confusing to the umpire who only wishes to sign their name
and get to their game.
The best thing to do is tell your umpires to ASK if they have a problem or question about
signing on.
IF THERE IS CONFUSION or someone else has signed in the umpire’s spot, the umpire
SHOULD NOT JUST LEAVE THE TABLE. They must speak to the Umpire on Duty.
If an umpire turns up to a court and there are already two umpires at that court OR
they are the only umpire OR there are no teams OR there is a forfeit OR something else
untoward happens then they should report back to the Umpire Table IMMEDIATELY!

If a team does not supply an umpire within 5 minutes of the start of the time-slot, then
they will forfeit their game. A neutral umpire from their game is moved to substitute for
the missing umpire.
If a team forfeits two hours before the game commences then the umpiring duties are
reshuffled for that grade. The umpires from the teams in the forfeited match are not
required. The forfeiting team and team receiving the forfeit do not need to supply
umpires.
If a team forfeits immediately before or just after the game commences then all
umpiring duties remain the same.
IT IS YOUR RESPONIBILITY TO ENSURE ALL YOUR UMPIRES TURN UP!
