Umpires are expected to be at the game early to ensure that there is enough time to introduce themselves and have a short discussion with coaches and players. Some of the venues you may be asked to attend are extremely vast, so it is essential that you allow enough time to park and make your way to the correct ground, pitch or court.

If you are running late for your scheduled game for any reason you must call the umpiring department immediately and let us know.

Once you have confirmed to the Umpiring Department that you are taking the fixtures you are obligated to arrive as scheduled.

If you do not attend a scheduled fixture then the school may have to forfeit the match and the students will lose their position on the ladder affecting their finals opportunities.

This is unacceptable conduct for Melbourne Sports Institute staff and it will be acted on accordingly.

Call the Melbourne Sports Institute offices to confirm your fixture details on 0430466828. The teams have most likely have encountered a transport delay.

You must inform the Umpire Co-ordinator immediately if you do not think you will be able to make a scheduled match later in the week or month.

Please note that you must provide 24 hours notice for any cancellations.

Timesheets must be submitted ONLY once every fortnightly.

Once submitted, please ensure you receive a confirmation email, this indicates your timesheet has been submitted successfully.

Please make sure you close the window down once you have submitted your timesheet to avoid a second submission.

The confirmation email should come through immediately, if this is not received you will need to resubmit your Timesheet

Check you have entered your correct bank details on the timesheet

Check your emails for confirmation that your timesheet has been submitted

If your bank account details have been entered correctly and you received a confirmation email, please email accounts@msisport.com.au to enquire about your payment

If you do not umpire for more than one week in the month then you can submit your timesheet at the conclusion of that week indicating clearly that there are no more fixtures for the month.

Each school plays in an Association competition and each of these Associations will have their own rules based on Victorian regulations for that sport.

It is imperative that you read the Association Regulations prior to coaching, umpiring or refereeing so that you officiate to the expected school standards.

You will be contacted by the Umpire Co-ordinator or Coach Allocation Manager if and when your game has been cancelled.

You will still be paid if your game or program is cancelled within ONE HOUR of the scheduled start time.

If you have multiple games, you will only be paid for the first game that was scheduled.

If your game is cancelled at the venue upon arrival you will still be paid for the game.

The schools are dependent on other teams arriving by bus so occasionally games might start later and finish later than the scheduled times.

Unfortunately you will not be able to claim additional umpiring time. If there are substantial delays then these will be paid.
