To earn status as a carded umpire one has to successfully complete the Softball Ontario examination for current season.

Method Of Payment

Pickering Softball pays 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.

Assignment Of Games

Every umpire will be given the opportunity to officiate at least one game (and 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.
