Referee Point Program
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Referee Point Program is to help ensure that AYSO Region 1031 recruits,
trains, certifies and fields enough volunteer referees to officiate at our
Regional games. In this Program, volunteers agree to referee games during
our Regional Regular Season.
Referees earn Volunteer Points which they allocate to one or more teams.
During the
2016-2017 Season, teams in Division U10 and older must earn 18 Referee points. Each team is required to have 1 New referee and that referee must earn a minimum of 3 referee points.
If a team does not have a NEW referee, they must earn 24 points instead 18 points.
All teams will participate in the Divisional Playoffs regardless of the standings except the teams that fail to earn the referee points. Teams that fail to accumulate the required points will not advance
to the Divisional Playoffs.
For Divisions U16 & U19, because play is between our Region and other
Regions, inter-regional standings are kept during the Regular Season in order to
determine Area 1-P Playoff seedings. Region 1031 U16 & U19 teams that fail to
accumulate the required number of volunteer points may not participate in the
Area 1-P Playoffs.
GENERAL RULES
- Referee volunteers will register in our referee self-scheduler system, http://ref.ayso1031.org. At registration select the team(s) you wish to allocate your referee points.
- If you have multiple teams, be sure to select the team to allocate your point(s) prior to submitting your referee match request. Otherwise the default team in your profile will receive the credit.
-
Volunteer Points
belong to the Volunteer who earns them.
- You cannot Referee your child's game. However if there is a no show for your child's game you can fill in as AR for that match
- Points must be allocated to a team with a family member. You cannot give your surplus point to another team with no family relationship.
- Referees earn additional points for mentoring (+1 point) and for continuing Referee Training (+3 points)
-
Youth Referees have
the same rights and privileges as Adult referees under this program. The
minimum age to certify as a Referee is 12 years old.
-
Teams are
responsible for recruiting their own volunteers.
- Each team must have at least 1 new referee and that referee must earn a minimum 3 points. Teams without a new referee must earn an additional 6 points.
- A returning referee can be reclassified as NEW referee for the purpose of meeting rule #7 by upgrading their badge (i.e. a Regional Badge referee takes the Intermediate Referee Course)
These guidelines
may be revised as necessary by the AYSO Region 1031 Commissioner or Referee
Administrator.

What if I cannot make it on the day?
We understand that “things happen”. We do ask you to try and contact us at scheduler@ayso1031.org as soon as possible. Please note that our chances of finding a
referee at the last minute are slim, so if you cannot show up you will
likely not be replaced.
Signing Up for Games and Getting Trained.
For referees needing training, dates for referee clinics and additional
details are posted here. Certified Referees may sign up for games by logging into our Referee management System, http://ref.ayso1031.org, and selecting the "Referee-Self-Scheduler" link.
