Fixtures for the 2025 season are now live on the website and teams should now be able to see their draws, ladders and details.
The most fulsome version of the fixtures are available for on the Download section of the website for each Division. This version shows all duties, which teams will need to be aware of to ensure they fulfil their obligations.
Duties are one of the big changes in the rostering for this season. Teams will no longer separate plate and basing umpiring duties. Teams are now required to send a plate and 2 base umpires to all duty matches, which will be for matches in other Divisions.
Mens Divisions will umpire each others in pairs, Division 1 and Division 2 will umpire each other (RCDSA umpires will plate Division 1), Division 3 and Division 4 will umpire each other. This is because they play on the same nights. We're not quite so thoughtless as to expect teams to return the next night just for umpiring duties!
Womens Divisions will umpire the next Division below. To accommodate this, RCDSA umpires will umpire Division 1/2 matches with Plate and base umpires.
Throughout the rest of the season we are hoping to see an increased presence in the lower Divisions for our RCDSA umpires. This will be organised ad-hoc on a relief basis for our duty teams as umpires availability is confirmed.
Please send all feedback through to admin@rcdsa.org.au directly, or you can use the contact form on the website.
Good luck for a new Summer of Softball!
