Referee Point Program

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.

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.

WAYS TO EARN POINTS

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.

Registration instructions are provided at the following link: http://www.ayso1031.org/volunteers/self-scheduler

No one except the AYSO Region 1031 Commissioner or Referee Administrator may grant an exception to these guidelines.

These guidelines may be revised as necessary by the AYSO Region 1031 Commissioner or Referee Administrator.
