Information for umpires
(coaches should also receive)

• Word Umpires Info>   
• PDF Umpires INfo >

Game Length: 2 x 30 minutes [stop games for cards or injuries but time will continue to run], with 5 minutes half time.  Please call teams at 4 minutes and expect them to respond. [ 2nd half will start on a horn from the tech table].  We may find that we have to cal them at 3 ½ minutes, if they are slow.
With games, perhaps going on longer because of stoppages/overtime/strokes, the next game umpires or umpires resting, may have to toss and tell teams to be ready to start immediately.

Toss: call captains early so games can start on time.  Remind the captains about mouth guards and that they are responsible for their teams’ uniform and conduct.  Shirts neat (tucked in if necessary)socks pulled up over shin pads, under-shorts not visible and no headgear [bandannas must be rolled].  Discuss any remiss at half time with the captain.

Timing: Due to the constraints of the game time slots time will be running. Time will be kept at the tech table..  We will start and end the games using a horn. [remind your team if the horn goes and they are playing a penalty corner that they should continue playing until the umpire blows time]

Injury: anything you feel is serious, stop the game .  Be strong and consistent about coaches running on to the field.  Hold up one hand to indicate “no” and make them wait [the other umpire can assist with this.  This allows you to get the game going faster if the injury is not serious.  If a trainer, coach or manager goes onto the field, the player must come off.  [we will use the 2 minute rule here] The other umpire assists with the process to restart the game quickly, with safety in mind.

Trainer: will be at a central location and will be watching games and listening for a loud whistle and /or call.  He will need to attend to the most serious injury and cannot be at all fields at once, so please use other umpires, technical people or a spectator if your game has a serious injury and the trainer is at another field.  Ice will be located on the sideline of each field at the centre.  Ice is also available at the Pavilion.

Blood:  If a player is injured and there is blood they must leave the pitch immediately. If there is any blood on the pitch it must be cleaned before the game can proceed..

Bench Misconduct: generally try to ignore comments unless personal or abusive.  Please do not tolerate loud/rude comments about the umpiring.  Stop the game and signal or speak to the captain or coach.  One or both umpires can deal with this.  Card the captain if necessary and certainly report this to the Technical Coordinator and Head Umpire.

Game Misconduct: many secondary school players are club players so have knowledge of the rules and all understand progressive penalties, so try not to get lulled into thinking otherwise.  These tournaments are very competitive for players and coaches.  If an umpire does award a yellow card, this should be reported to the Head Umpire and Technical Director.  The incident should be recorded

Team Colours: these will be posted in the officials’ room, so you can select your colour to match your partner’s.  Check early that your two teams will not clash and the GK’s are wearing different coloured shirts than both teams.  Pinnies will be available for a colour clash.

Tie Breaking: ties in pool games stay.  Play off games require a winner , 5 minute sudden death(teams will attack in the same direction), then penalty strokes. Consolation games will go straight to strokes.  We will review this when we need to and it will be posted.

Balls, scorecards and captains’ bands: at the technical table.  Please collect and return them there.

Fair Play Trophy: at the end of each game, umpires give a score to the teams they umpire.  Like the game, both umpires award the same fair play points.  The back of the scorecard has a point system, as follows:

1. relationship with own team [grumbling/blaming or encouraging/positive]
2. relationship with opponents [undesirable behaviour or being normally competitive]
3. response to umpires [appealing for calls, arguing or being normal!]

Please be careful not to go overboard with your score, unless really warranted.

This tournament is a good opportunity to blend experience with potential and it allows for the development of team umpiring and personal growth.
Thank you for umpiring:

Have Fun                                 
Keep the games safe                      
Start games on time
