TOURNAMENT APPOINTMENTS

Appointments to National Tournaments will be made by the Hockey New Zealand Officials Advisory Group. All Association nominations should be sent to Colin French: colin.french@hockeynz.co.nz

If you have any questions regarding the suitability of an umpire or technical official to a particular tournament, then please contact Colin French. For new umpires, who have not yet attended a National Tournament, it is recommended that they attend a regional tournament first, then apply for a National Tournament the year later.

Umpires will be considered for appointed to National Tournaments based on (but not limited too) their performance from the previous years and from Association nominations.
