All Umpires

A written test and field ratings are mandatory for scale and payment. WSLUB�s policy is that umpires enter into season with previous season�s rating (or as an apprentice, for new umpires). Through applying your knowledge and skills at on-field rating opportunities, you can rate higher.

Note: Ratings are not retroactive. Umpires are paid at level you were the rated the previous season. Upon completing a current season rating opportunity, if you do rate higher, you will then move higher on the pay scale from then on through the season.
