We are sure that this item will be of interest to all Clubs in Kent even if they play in Leagues and competitions that are not part of those detailed in the attached document.  If your Club uses Umpires from a local panel for your matches it might help as a guide to what payments might be.

Please note that the appointments to these matches is made according to the reference in the final right hand column with RAC referring to the Regional Appointment Coordinators.

The appointment of umpires for the first three rounds of the National KO are to be made by the county ACO as was the case in 2009.

Expense forms for the competitions where ECB remunerate centrally will be available on the ECB ACO website to download before the start of the season.

These forms should be sent to the appropriate person after the completion of the match for settlement.

This is firstly so skills can be recognised and secondly for officials to understand where they are and what are the next steps that need to be taken to develop to higher level matches.

It is of course not the desire of all umpires to crave the heights of officiating beyond their local area but nevertheless it is important that there are choices for everyone and a knowledge of where we all are and its acceptance it is a comfortable place to be.

The attached file really does help explain and it is recommended reading for all Umpires at whatever level to download and read it.
