The belief that not enough umpires and referees are available is common in recreational
sports; however, is the perceived shortage caused by a lack of
numbers, or is it caused by a lack of organization?
We believe it is a bit of both, and even though Umpire Centre can’t
create more umpires for you, it can improve your umpire assignment process.
Our customers have proved that, when they use Umpire Centre, they can show
an immediate decrease in the number of rescheduled games due to umpire
shortages. Fewer rescheduled games mean your organization is able to get
better use from the other scarce commodity: your ball diamonds.
Central Assignment
To achieve maximum results towards solving umpire shortages, you may
want to consider central assignment. By co-operating with other local
clubs and leagues, available umpires can be pooled into Umpire Centre and
centrally assigned for all games at the same time. This ensures the most
efficient use of the available umpire pool in your area.
Umpire Centre has dramatically reduced umpire shortage problems where
it has been used as a central assignment tool.
