all umpires by cheque. Payment will be made every three weeks (generally
commencing the week of June). Please
note that umpires will not receive their final cheque
(including performance bonus for Junior Development Umpires, if applicable) until such time that all
loaned equipment has been returned to Pickering Softball.
Recognition
Of Games Umpired
It
is the umpire's responsibility to report games officiated via the Pickering Softball Web Site.
This game report should be completed within 24 hours
of his / her umpiring assignment to ensure prompt payment. In addition, each umpire must sign (and
clearly print his / her name) on the score sheet of the winning team.
Under this plan, umpires will no longer need to have a pay sheet signed.

ideally two) per week from June 1st to August 1st.
Umpires for playoff games will be
determined based on the following four factors:
?
skill demonstrated
?
dependability
?
commitment
?
seniority.
