Introduction to Acumen Discussion Board PLEASE JOIN THIS BOARD BEFORE POSTING MESSAGES - this enables members to have private conversations with other registered members.
This Message Board is open to all those who wish to discuss issues on cricket umpiring, scoring, coaching and general administration. Although there may be discussion on the future of The Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers, The ECBOA, ECB ACO and ICUS Ltd, other topics would be welcome. You will note that there are a number of threads - please select the most appropriate or, as a last resort, start a new one!
You do not have to be a member of any of these organisations to post your own opinion. We reserve the right to remove or modify unsuitable material (such as personal attacks, racist remarks, hate mail, irrelevant advertising etc). We will NOT remove postings simply because we disagree with their view. We do not accept any responsibility for the accuracy of the information posted.
On your first visit, you will be asked to supply your name, age and email address. Shortly after, you will be sent an email containing a validation code which you will need to copy and paste before proceeding further.
