Bashers. It's Shanghainese for Cricket

Want to earn some cash umpiring?

As I’m sure we would all agree, umpires play a crucial role in ensuring good, fair and enjoyable games that are played in the right spirit. As part of the SCC’s efforts to raise standards across the board, we are now offering to pay umpires who are able to commit to umpiring a whole game. This is the next step towards having a full panel of neutral high quality umpires.

Division 1 – 40 overs – 300RMB per game, inclusive of any transport arrangements
Division 2 – 25 overs –100RMB per game, inclusive of any transport arrangements

In addition, most teams are more than happy to buy the umpire a drink and a meal in their local after the game, and this is something we certainly hope continues.

Umpires will need:
1. To be extremely knowledgeable in the laws of the game, as well as the rules for the Division umpired
2. To be able to control a game
3. To arrive at least 20 minutes before the start of each game
4. To dress in dark trousers, smart shoes, white shirt, and white sweater/coat as appropriate

5. Never give a Basher out LBW

Our Division 3 development league is comprised mostly of local Chinese and juniors, and would of course also welcome umpires, in particular those who can act as coaches. There is no payment for this other than the satisfaction of having spent a couple of hours giving something back to the game in China!

Umpiring Coordinator

The SCC also looking for an umpiring coordinator who can schedule umpires for games. This need not be an umpire, and would not involve any meetings – simply being a focal point for umpires to know which games to officiate.

Let me know if anyone is interested in this.
