REFEREE POINT SYSTEM
For a team to be eligible for post-season play, their referee(s) must earn a minimum amount of points by refereeing games on Region 143 fields.
| SPRING 2025 SEASON (10U CORE ONLY) |
| To clear your team for the Spring tournament, one of the following is achieved: |
- A single, non-coach referee earns a total of 190 points
- Two non-coach referees each earn 140 points, for a combined total of 280 points
- One dual certified coach/referee and one non-coach referee each earn 140 points, for a combined total of 280 points*
|
Total points needed and points per role (below) vary each season based on the number of games in the region.
*Head Coaches that are dual-certified cannot clear their teams as an individual referee; at least 50% of the points must come from a 2nd non-coach volunteer.
EARNING POINTS |
- To earn points, you must be a certified Referee (Region badge or higher). If you are an 8U Official with an older player in 9/10U and above, you will not earn points for 8U games, you must be at least a Regional-level Referee.
- A Referee or Assistant Referee (AR)* will only earn points for the division they are qualified to officiate. If you have a Regional-level badge and somehow end up doing a 14U or higher game, you will only receive points for a 12U game (you cannot be covering games higher than what you're qualified for, unless you have explicit permission from the Region Referee Administrator).
- You will only earn points for games in Region 143. If you are at your own player's game in another region and you step in as a Center Referee, contact the Ref Admin and Coordinator for consideration (on a case-by-case basis); in general you should not be officiating your own player's games.
- *Assistant Referees (AR) - to earn points as an AR, you MUST be in uniform, otherwise you are a "Club Linesman" and there are no points for that role. If you act as an AR on a game that you are not qualified for (e.g. you have a Regional-level badge, but act as an AR on a 14U or higher game), then you are technically also a "Club Linesman"; in this case, if you are in full uniform and act as an AR with the knowledge and permission of the qualified Center Referee, then you will receive points for a 12U game.
REMINDER:
Regional Referees are qualified up to 12U
Intermediate Referees are qualified up to 14U
Advanced Referees are qualified up to 16U
National Referees are qualified for all divisions |
