2010-11 Rules Test Closed
Well done to all those umpires who took and passed the online rules test by 31 December 2010. If you did not pass it between September and December 2010 your qualification as an umpire has now lapsed and you will no longer be on the Current Umpires List. This is an annual requirement - even if you passed last season's test you were still required to pass this one as well. and will need to pass the next one between September and December 2011. If you have overlooked this requirement and therefore lost your rating, please contact admin@ewlua.co.uk to explain and ask about an extension. Those people who held a current rating but have now lost it because they failed to take or pass the test are shown here
The only people who are currently qualified to umpire are those shown on this website on the current umpires list.
New rules for women's lacrosse
The votes have been counted and the results are in.
At the General Assembly of FIL, held in Manchester alongside the men's World Championships in July 2010, a number of rule changes were approved for the women's game. Many, but not all of these new rules were trialled in England last season. A summary of all the approved rule changes can be found here. The full text of the amendments can be found here .
The new rule books have now been received at ELA headquarters. If you have attended an umpiring course this season you should already have received an email offering you a copy. Please take advantage of this. All umpires are encouraged to contact ELA to obtain the new rule book as soon as possble.
Information needed
The Rules and Umpiring Committee is in the process of setting dates for umpiring courses and testing opportunities in the 2010-2011 season. A number of dates can be found already on the Calendar page, but we would like to hear from you about any playdays or tournaments in your area which might be useful for training and testing umpires. Please send any info to administrator@laxumps.co.uk and keep checking back with this site for updates about umpiring opportunities around the country and beyond.
