Eastwood Ryde Umpiring Convenor Manual “to be used in conjunction with the Netball Australia NUDF” How to sign on: Grade Court Umpire 1 11-1 1 Team 1 Umpire 1 Gladesville 6 Ravens 16 please PRINT your name Court Umpire 2 Team 2 Umpire 2 4 St Kevins 3 2 please PRINT your name 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! FORFEITS Grade of game Court where Umpire 1 goes Name and number of Umpire 1’s team Umpire 1 PRINTS name HERE. Court where Umpire 2 goes Name and number of Umpire 2’s team 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!

Eastwood Ryde Umpiring Convenor Manual “to be used in conjunction with the Netball Australia NUDF” UMPIRES AT THE END OF THE GAME At the end of the game Umpires have various responsibilities. Please remind your umpires of the following points: • Move to the middle of the court and shake hands with your fellow umpire. Thank them as well. • Thank the players. You can’t umpire without a game. • Move to the scorers and timekeepers. Thank them. • Sign the score sheet. HOWEVER, if the umpire wishes to make a formal complaint about some aspect of the game, especially if it will affect the outcome of the game, THEY SHOULD NOT SIGN THE SCORESHEET. • Gather your equipment and move off. UMPIRE ABUSE ERNA and the ERNA Umpiring Committee take Umpire Abuse very seriously. There are severe penalties for abusing an umpire physically or verbally should a formal complaint be made and it goes to a Disputes Panel. Umpires should send for a representative from the Umpiring Committee at any time during the game should they need help dealing with abuse either from the court or side line. The Codes of Behaviour for players, coaches and spectators is printed in the ERNA Fixtures Book. See the next page for the “Umpiring Code of Behaviour”. Tips for dealing with abuse at the end of the game: • In the first place, set up your own gear WELL AWAY from the two teams. • Walk away from the upset team/player’s area. Don’t be within earshot of their complaining and you won’t hear it. • Don’t enter into a discussion with the abusive player/team. • If someone approaches you to be abusive, walk away. Quickly gather your gear and retire to the Umpiring Room. They will be the ones looking stupid as they chase you around the court. The Umpiring Committee will intercept them. • Stick together with the other umpire and any of your umpiring support team e.g. umpire mentor, parent. (Safety in numbers.) • Sign (or don’t sign the score sheet) and move away from the court as quickly as possible. Umpire Convenor's Manual 2013.doc 11 March 2013 Page 33
