| Pitch Lighting Certificates for Season 2010 - 2011 | |
| Could I remind all clubs of the requirement to provide the HHUA Lighting Officer with either a new 3 year certificate for approval or a confirmation letter regarding the current lighting on all pitches that you will use during the season. The HHUA Appointments Secretaries will appoint umpires to those league matches that traditionally attract appointed umpires between the start times of 10.30 am and 4.00 p.m. If the use of floodlights is required during these matches then the HHUA will only appoint to those grounds that meet the present HHUA requirements of an average lighting level of 250 Lux and are also formally authorised by the HHUA. Even if these conditions are met, the decision to start or continue with a match under floodlights will be dependent on the umpires’ acceptance of lighting standards at that time. This means that league matches to be played on pitches which do not have HHUA approved floodlights must start no later than 2.45 p.m. in September, October, February and March and no later than 2.15 p.m. in November, December and January. This information must be submitted to the HHUA Lighting Officer by 1st September each season to ensure authorisation for the provision of HHUA appointed umpires.
