2008 NZ Rules Refresher/Examination Paper  

The NZ Rules Refresher/Examination is now available for download.  This year's exam has been set again by Nicky Ogier and Mark McFarlane and independently checked by members of the National Umpiring Staff.  

This exam may be taken as an open book examination for all grade levels. Only Level 3 and below are required to return their answer sheets for marking.  Level 3 umpires wishing to be field examined for their NZ Badge (Level 4) are required to:

“Attain a pass mark of 70% in the season to which you are being field examined for"

Answer sheets are required to be returned as soon as possible for marking as marks are required to confirm eligibility to be examined at this season's National Tournaments.  Umpires Level 4 and above should complete this paper as a Rules Refresher for the forthcoming season.

The answer sheet will be posted to this site at the end of November. Local Chief umpires may request a copy of the answer sheet earlier. Association results will be published and forwarded to each Local Umpires Association for further distribution.
