B. GAME ASSIGNMENTS
7. How are games assigned?
A- Games are assigned on the basis
of a rigorous system of assessments of the referee's game management
skill level. All rookies start in Recreation games, or as ARs in
Competitive games. As your eagerness and people skills flourish, you
will advance to older divisions in Recreation and centers in
Competitive games. If you think you are ready for bigger games call
the Assignor.
You will be asked to referee a
minimum of two games each time you are assigned.
Because games are Assigned as early
as two weeks out, on short notice, you might not be able to find
more than an isolated game here and there.
8. What system of assignment does the
Club use?
A- The Club uses a"REQUEST/CONFIRM" Internet
based system of assigning. You access the website by logging in with
your ID and password at:
Once you are on the site you will
see games listed according to your ranking. You can then request
those games.
Email Notifications are sent to
the referee whenever assignments are made, changed, requested, or
confirmed.
Referees are automatically notified when a game is postponed or
canceled, or when an assignment is changed to a different , time
date or venue.
9. What if I can't referee a game I am
assigned?
A- If you need to turn back a game,
please do so with enough time for the Assignor to be able to get a
replacement referee. That usually means at least 48 hours ahead.
'Turn back' is a feature of the Assigning System and it
automatically sends an e-mail to the Assignor. In an emergency,
call, and e-mail your Assignor.
10. Who can I turn to for help with my
game skills?
A- We have a group of experienced
referees that are here to help you by watching your games and
mentoring you. Remember that even FIFA referees have mentors,
assessors and instructors working with them every week to improve
their game. Call your Assignor if you wish to participate.
C. AFTER REFEREEING A GAME
9. How do I report a game?
A- Game scores are reported by Match
Secretaries. In the event of a competitive game you should keep a
simple record of the game in the vent of a dispute over the outcome
of the game.

the record of any of the following:

you eject a player or coach. Fill out the 24 Hour Report that you
can download from this site (see DOWLOADS) and fax it or e-mail it
to you Assignor before the day is out. You shouls also call the
Assignor to let him know of the ejection.
10. What steps do I take after a game
to get paid?

electronic file created by the assigning software and you need not
do anything else to get payed. Payments are made about 15 days EOM.
Always maintain a record of your games, with fields, times and
opponents as a back up, so that you can double check the amount on
your pay stub.
11. How do I report serious problems
that occurred during a game?
All injuries and ejections
are reported by e-mail to your Assignor and by phone to the Assignor
