In an effort to try to reduce wasted journeys, a new procedure will be introduced. OVERVIEW. The new system will revolve around the use of a panel of League Umpires who will be allocated a number of grounds within reasonable reach of their home address and who will be available to carry out inspections on a Saturday morning (or Sunday morning for Cup matches). It is critical that the system is not abused. Before making a call and requesting an inspection, the home Captain must be reasonably satisfied that the ground conditions are such that it is unlikely that a game will take place on that day. PROCEDURE. If, in the days leading up to the day of the match, the weather has been such that the scheduled game could be under threat,and if, on the day the weather conditions are still unfavourable, the home Captain or nominated deputy must inspect their ground as early as reasonably possible on the morning of the game. If the home Captain believes that the scheduled game is seriously at risk, he should refer to the list on page 7 and contact the nominated Umpire NO LATER than 10:00 am. Once an agreed time for the inspection has been agreed, he must then contact the visiting Captain to offer him or his representative, the opportunity to attend. The inspecting Umpire will make his inspection unaccompanied by either Captain and will then decide whether (a) the game should be called off immediately or (b) whether, in his opinion, there is a reasonable prospect of the game starting by the latest time allowed for in Section 3 Rules i.e 150 minutes after the scheduled start time. The visiting Umpire is, and will remain, the SOLE arbiter of fitness of ground etc. 6 In the case of (a) above, the Home Captain or nominated deputy must take the following steps. If the visiting Captain is not present, telephone him to advise that the game has been called off. He must then contact the nominated Umpire(s) scheduled to attend and advise them accordingly. He must then pay the visiting Umpire £5 as would be usual for a game which cannot be played. In the case of (b) above, the nominated Umpire(s) will attend as normal. The home Captain will advise the Umpire(s) that an early inspection has been made and thereafter, the game will be under the control of the nominated Umpire(s) In the event of a panel Umpire being unavailable or away, the home Captain should attempt to contact either the nominated Umpire(s) for the game or another League umpire who lives in the vicinity.
