ATTENTION
ALL UMPIRES/PARENTS/COACHES/TEACHERS/JUNIORS/SENIORS
The SNZ Rules Test goes live later this year on a currrently unconfirmed date, we will update the website with the confirmed date when it is available. We recommend that all Senior players and L1/L2 umpires take the time to complete the first 50 questions to challenge yourself and improve your knowledge of the game.
The test will be published on the SNZ Umpire Website.
We strongly recommend that you sit the test online. However, if you are unable to do so, PDF files will be available for download so that you can go through the test at your pace and submit online before the closing date. Please note there are video questions so it is best if you complete the test online.
The test is open book, meaning you may have whatever resource you need to assist you in completing the test. The SNZ Rule Book, which WBOPSA has for sale for $5 each and is on the SNZ Umpires’ website, would be a good resource to start with.
SNZ Umpire Level One to Three members only need to complete the first 50 questions. Level Four and above are required to attempt all 100 questions.
Completing the test should be done individually and not as a group. Try to test your rules knowledge against yourself and not others.
If you have been doing the odd umpiring duty around the park, then this is a great opportunity to become a skilled Level 2 Umpire. If you are a player, this is a great opportunity to increase your knowledge of the rules of the game.
Good Luck! Let Cass or Rebecca know if you have any further questions or need assistance.
