What does the assignor expect of me?

​

• You should not give the same availability to different assignors or other associations!

• An assignment is a FIRM commitment, just like any other job.

• Things do come up, and referees sometimes need to cancel. Let your assignor know as soon as you know, and the reason should be for something valid. Canceling because you were offered a higher level game by another assignor is unacceptable.

• Cancellations are one of the most difficult things that assignors have to deal with, please be respectful and professional.

​

What do the schools expect of me?

​

• You should always be at your assigned game at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start time, unless you have made prior arrangements with your assignor.

• If you do anything different from what you are assigned, contact you assignor ASAP and let them know exactly what you did and who you were with. Get names! (The skinny blond haired kid, will make it difficult.)

• If there are not three referees for the games that you are assigned, let the assignor know ASAP. You must also let the assignor know who else was there, if anyone.

• Complete all game paperwork and submit to the appropriate league official immediately.
