UMPIRES NEEDED FOR 2010 |
|   |
  |
|
We urgently need to appoint one or match umpires for the coming season. In previous seasons, failing to provide an umpire attracted a small fine. However, from the 2010 season, a new TVCL match rule comes into force which will result in a team being docked five points for each and every occasion that they fail to provide an umpire. This applies to Divisions 1-4 only. Our 1st XI is in Division 3 in 2010 so this applies to us, and in theory it could cost us 90 points!
However, if a club provides an umpire to the TVCL panel, that club is exempt from the fine. The umpire would need to be qualified and cover at least a few games for TVCL during the season (not necessarily Narks games).
This rule is designed to increase the number of panel umpires available for division 1-3 as the numbers have been steadily falling. This will also bring us into line with other local leagues.
If you are interested in either standing as a club umpire (i.e. umpiring for the Narks) or joining the TVCL Umpire Panel, please let a member of the Management Committee know ASAP. Training is available, with courses being run in the next few months. |
