2.4 How To Become An Umpire?
I'm always pleased to have someone interested in umpiring or in just
gaining a better understanding or the rules. I send the following material
to all persons who have an interest in umpiring. You may give a copy of
this application to all interested USATT members. If you are involved in
running a touranemnt, obtain a copy of the USATT's tournament guide from
the USATT headquarters.
There are four levels of umpires: club, regional, nat'l, & int'l. Please
refer to the club & regional qualification sheet attached for details. A
current USATT membership is a prerequisite for becoming an umpire.
The ITTF rule book (an abbreviated pocket version of the handbook/yearbook)
is furnished to you when you apply to take the club umpire exam. I would
suggest that you obtain the ITTF handbook/yearbook to have a complete set
of all the rules and laws of table tennis (published every two years).
there is a very good companion book called handbook for match officials
which is a must for those who wish to gain insight into understanding the
reasons behind the rules. The publications are available from USATT
headquarters in colorado.
I would be happy to answer any further questions you might have on becoming
an umpire, fell free to call or write me for any type of help you might
require.
Sincerely,
Tom Miller
