Umpires &  Umpiring    

Umpires standing in ACCSO-organised competitive matches are expected to be completely familiar with the MCC Laws (which are the foundation for ACCSO competitive matches).

They are also expected to aware of the current version of ACCSO match regulations. These are detailed on the dedicated page on this site. There, umpires will also find

• Match-Day Actions summary of what-to-do on the ground
• The ACCSO Disciplinary Procedure
• The procedure for verifying the team lists before each match
• The Match Report form, which requires sign-off by umpires.

Umpires have sole responsibility for assessing whether it is safe to play and also the fair play aspects of all competitive matches.

Colin Goodall, our umpire co-ordinator, has constructed the 2026 roster for our "travelling" umpires, based on the match calendar that shows 

on the Competitions (Fixtures) page.

Here is the latest version (it will be updated regularly as we move through season 2026).

Here is the Umpire Report Form for use when an umpire wants to add background information about what happened in any particular match.
