If you join the NFHS you can download the rule book and casebook in PDF format.

You cover my travel expenses and I'll hand deliver it to you. In fact, we could make it an annual event.

Mate. (Bearing in mind, 90% is Slowpitch (excl Europe T's)
You come over for a week and your flight is paid for, but it is a load of work.
Weekend T = £13.00/game x 15 (8xSat, 7xSun) (1 Hr Time Limit Games) X 2 Weekends = £390.00!

Now how Keen are You!

You do not have enough money to pay me to work that schedule. It is absurd and a complete disservice to the teams.

I quite agree with you, the problem is we have anything from 26 - 48 teams at a Tournament, and have only 12 qualified umpires in the United Kingdom.
Approx 30% of all Tournament are umpired by Players!

Not nice I know, but with the Grassroots program in progress for the Sport, and being sponsored by Sportuk within Schools, we are a little Stuck!!

Well, that sucks! Do you use any US military umpires in your local tournaments?

We used to have plenty around 5 years ago, but they all got deployed state side, or to the East! So now we only have a few, and they work base first, and then try and come help out.

All's good, we'll get they in the end.
Our Youth teams have already in the past 2 years begun coming over to your smaller tournaments, and the Womens fastpitch team is pretty hot in Europe (bearing in mind that anyone with a British connection at College on your side gets to play for GB!!!!)

Ahhhh.....there's the problem. I stopped umpiring slow pitch many years ago.

From the Resource Library.

See this forum thread on the NFHS forum.

Thanks,
I had bookmarked it last year, but forgot.
Wish I had remembered earlier... we start Regionals next week!
