It is that time of the year, when umpires are working hard for a ‘Finals Appointment’.
ALL Umpires should read and be familiar with the attached documents to this article as it has been discussed over the last week at training.
Message from the Coach -
“With finals now upon us, please find attached and read the “Finals Information Bulletin” for 2010. I would ask that all umpires please read this as it should answer all of your questions in regard to the finals. If after reading this you have any questions, please ask.
Also attached in the document is a “coaching brief” regarding the role of the Emergency Umpire. Once again, please read carefully as there are a few changes from last year.
While this is mostly relevant to field umpires, I would ask that all umpires take the opportunity to at least be familiar with this role. The area relating to the awarding of a free kick in the event of an interchange breach is the main change.
