In line with the restructuring of regional cricket education programs, including coaching, umpiring and scoring, this seminar was a different format to that held in Costa Rica last year. With the total course duration being four days, the program was divided into two parts, with the first two days dedicated to an ICC Americas "Introduction to Umpiring and Scoring" Instructors course, and the final two days to an ICC Americas Basic Umpiring Course. Course instructor for the entire event was regional RDO, Grant Dugmore.
Instead of directly presenting a WICUA Level 1 Umpiring Course, the newly adopted system means that selected individuals from amongst those that have successfully completed the ICC Americas basic course will be invited to do a WICUA Level 1 in 2007-08.
