1.
How do I become an umpire? |
|
Anyone
can become an umpire and the best starting point would
be to acquire a reasonable working knowledge of the
Rules of Super-Cricket. This can be done in the first
instance by attending an initial course on the Rules
and Umpiring Technique together with picking up experience
by umpiring in some appropriate games at your local
super-cricket club. |
|
Information
about where your nearest training centre can be found
at your local super-cricket club or association and
the structures differ depending on the country you
live in. |
|
How
do I get on to the Elite Panel of ISCC Umpires? |
|
To
become a member of the Elite Panel of ISCC Umpires
you first of all need to be standing regularly in
first-class super-cricket in a Member Country of the
ISCC. |
|
From
the list of first-class super-cricket Umpires each
country then nominate their two best performing umpires
to the International Panel of ISCC Umpires, and their
next best to the position of TV Umpire.
|
Members
of the International Panel of ISCC Umpires can stand
in home One Day Internationals Super-Cricket together
with a member of the Elite Panel of ISCC Umpires.
The appointed TV Umpire for each country is not able
to be appointed on-field but can begin their involvement
at the top level by working with the more established
officials in One-Day Internationals Super-Cricket
Matches. |
|
Members
of the International Panel of ISCC Umpires are then
eligible to be chosen for ISCC Events such as the
ISCC Super-Cricket World Cup, ISCC U/19 Super-Cricket
World Cup and from time to time may be appointed to
Ansar Trophy etc., by the ISCC at an appropriate time.
|
|

close monitoring by ISCC of the performances of these
umpires in International Super-Cricket they will then
be invited to become full time members of the Elite
Panel of ISCC |
|
Umpires
once they have shown that they have the qualities
to perform at the highest level. |
|
How
does the ISCC decide who umpires each series? |
|
The
ISCC appoints umpires to all One-Day Internationals
Super-Cricket of the umpires in, for selecting officials
the following criteria is used: |
|
-
The umpire must be independent of the countries involved
in the match/series |
-
The best available umpires for the match are used |
-
Better performing umpires used more often |
-
The frequency of individuals appointed to same teams |
-
Workload considerations |
|
How
does the ISCC monitor umpire performance? |
|
There
are three elements to the ISCC's umpire assessment
process: |
|
| (i) |
Captains
& Referees Reports |
| |
Both
captains and the Match Referee submit reports
on the performances of the on field umpires
and the TV Umpire. These forms are then used
to help generate a performance score for each
umpire. This is an essential part of the ISCC's
performance management process and any comments
added to the forms by the captains form part
of the feedback we give to the officials following
the match. |
| (ii) |
Independent
ISCC DVD Assessment |
| |
The
ISCC uses DVDs of all One-Day Internationals
Super-Cricket to assess the performances
of each of the umpires. An independent assessor
scrutinises all decisions which were made
during the game and gives a rating for each
decision adjudged. The application of the
rules, regulations, Code of Conduct and
technique of each umpire is reviewed and
a written report sent to each official along
with a DVD of his decisions. These rating
are included in the performance scores of
all umpires. |
| (iii) |
Feedback
to Umpires |
| |
Following
this independent report from the assessor,
the ISCC distributes a DVD of each umpire's
decisions and supplies this to the umpire
along with his written assessment. Each
umpire is then encouraged to discuss this
report with the ISCC and to use the content
of the assessment to plan their future development.
