Figure 1 Point A in figure 1 shows the position of the goal umpire astride the line for a ball kicked at goal and dropping near the goal line. (b) Position Under the Flight of the Ball A ball well above touching and contesting height and will travel through the scoring area requires the goal umpire to be positioned directly under the flight of the ball. This will give the goal umpire a good look at the ball and he or she will be able to tell if the ball grazes the post. A ball to travel over the behind line on such occasions requires the goal umpire to run across to a position under the flight of the ball rather than adjudicate from the goal area. Figure 2 Point A in figure 2 shows the position of the goal umpire in being positioned under the ball across towards the behind line. (c) Assisting a Boundary Umpire G:\UMPIRES\booklets\Umpiring Booklets\Goal\EFL Goal Umpiring Information Booklet 2013.doc Page 6 © Eastern Football League 2013
When the ball is kicked or played out of bounds and the boundary umpire is positioned a reasonable distance away it is the duty of the goal umpire to assist the boundary umpire. On the occasion of the ball going out of bounds on the full the goal umpire will signal this by facing the boundary umpire and signalling with one arm extended straight at shoulder height horizontal to the ground and with a clenched fist. The goal umpire is required to run across to and if necessary beyond the behind post to ensure the correctness of the decision and to ensure the boundary umpire will see the signal. If the ball is played out of bounds but is first touched in transit or bounces out of bounds the signal is a vertically outstretched arm above the head. On an occasion a behind is scored and the boundary umpire is not positioned on a behind post the goal umpire will tap his or her chest to signify that it is a behind. This will tell the boundary umpire there is no need to run all the way to the scoring area. When a goal is to be given, the goal umpire will come to attention and this will signify the goal umpire’s intention. It should be remembered that the goal umpire is the sole judge of a score and has the final say as to whether or not a score is the case. Figure 3 Point A in figure 3 shows the position of the goal umpire when he or she is to assist a boundary umpire with an out of bounds signal. (d) All Clear by Field Umpire On all occasions a goal umpire wishes to signal a score he or she must look to the field umpire for an all clear indication from the field umpire G:\UMPIRES\booklets\Umpiring Booklets\Goal\EFL Goal Umpiring Information Booklet 2013.doc Page 7 © Eastern Football League 2013
