2026-27 Expression of Interest

The 4NCL are inviting applications to be part of the arbiting team for the 2026-27 4NCL season. We are seeking both sector arbiters and floor arbiters for all weekends.

 

The dates and venues can be found here, and the responsibilities and fee details can be found here. It is not necessary to be able to attend all of the dates to be considered, and you may not be chosen for all the weekends you apply for to allow for more arbiters to be a part of the team and to obtain norms.

 

Please complete this form by the end of Tuesday 15th September.
