I dont mind paying for a manual and a new rules book every couple of years, but I would like to see some of the NCAA 11yr. 14 billion dollar media contract be funneled down to the officials that our working there rears off trying to get better. Instead of offering low to no cost training for umpires, there pushing more of the younger umpires away with the added cost and (legal)responsabilities of umpiring. |
You can order a rule book and manual seperately.
Paying for the arbiter site gives you access to all of the training videos and rule interpretations notes put out by the SUP as well as the NCAA rules test. You also get a spiral bound copy of the rule book and manual, if I remember correctly. I work our local JUCO league and we were encouraged, but not required, to join the site. Some of our staff that does not work any D1 ball is also assigned to a local D2 school's games. Last year, their program was pretty solid and there was a good chance for them to win their conference and host post season games. Those of us that work there were told that we had to be Arbiter members in order to be considered for post season assignments if that school hosted. I suppose the bottom line is that you need to ask your JUCO assignor/commissioner if membership is required to work that level. |

There are 51 NCAA softball conference coordinators across the country assigning all the DI, DII, and DIII games. They all have different criteria for being on their roster including but not limited to being registered with the NCAA/SUP program, minimum acceptable NCAA test score, completion of the on-line clinic, attending off-season camps etc. etc. Some of these criteria are set by the conferences themselves. Can't speak to JUCO or NAIA. |

I believe that all other NCAA sports on Arbiter are also $100, so it's not just an SUP thing. Not defending it, but compared to the game fees for the organizations I work it is the cheapest. |
The idea here is to be able to disseminate information easier, to be able to provide an online clinic, (which will save the expense of a trip, plus food, plus hotel, plus clinic fee, to travel to a destination where a physical clinic is being held), and to be able to test and offer continuing training to umpires via quizzes....etc. You also get a rule book, and the SUIP manual.
Not bad for $100.00, if you desire to be the best umpire out there. This is the third or fourth year of this, so we should all be pretty used to it by now. :rolleyes: |
