3 Umpires has to go!!!

3 Umpires on each Aba game has got to get the boot!!!!!!!!!

Some games have been called well however it costs our club too much to pay extra umpires, plus the standard is simply not there.

I think there no more than 10 good umpires in the ABA

3 umpires on every game spreads these guys too thin.

thats my three cents worth.
What do others think?

Get over it, it will be in for the finals, and most people are very happy with it. I wouldn't be putting my house on it but I'd have a fifty on it that it will happen next year for the season.

It will work much better in the finals. Less games to cover means the better ref's will be used together. I can't recall the last time I saw two top quality refs on the same game.

wah wah wah

cost too much for my club. The clubs here don't pay that much any way. You want a better quality ref and don't want to pay the money needed to provide the training and development of new or existing referees. A lot of time and money is required to produce the standard that you keep whinging and whining for.

We are all actually taking a pay cut (a significant one at that) to accommodate the 3rd referee on the game, so there shouldn't be much (if any) extra additional cost for clubs in regards to referee payments.

Just a thought.
Why do they not get a naming rights sponsor which could pay the wages.

In return the sponsor would get good coverage with the name on there shirts.

Even if they at least covered the difference in cost plus some training costs I think it would work.

I Agree with the sponsor Idea... that would take a lot of heat of BSA in terms of having to finance the referees - means more affordable sport for everyone and also the opportunity to organise better pay for the officials, which is a very big reason for kids leaving to go work at McDonalds.
WIN - WIN

The referees could all run around with their name and phone number written on their backs like Malcolm Evans used to. That could be a segway to 'Where are they now?'
