Match Appointments
As the season approaches, it is crucial that all umpires understand Officials HQ.
Officials HQ is used for adding leave (i.e away due to holiday), completing education modules and most importantly, accepting match appointments (note practice games do not come through this platform). Appointments are completed by our MPJ Appointments Coordinator, Xavier Willis.
Payments are made using the bank details here so if you haven’t already, log on and update your bank details via ‘Account’.
In addition, all match day paperwork is completed on here. If you are the first listed field umpire, you will be responsible for completing a simple form before leaving the changerooms.
Reports are completed under a separate section.
Demonstrations and information will be distributed on the junior season launch at Kananook Reserve, Seaford on Monday evening from 6PM. Alternatively, information is available on the club hub as discussed below
Club Hub
As part of the AFL South East region, all MPJ umpires will now have access to a fantastic resource in ‘Club Hub’.
Club Hub has a plethora of information regarding uniform, coaching information, appointments and contingency forms.
