Scrimmages

 
NOCRA provides referees for local club team scrimmages.  
  • Our new members attend scrimmages to receive mentoring and ratings.  
  • Scrimmages are a great way to get game experience, without the pressure of league or tournament play.
  • Referees that are looking for higher level matches can receive mentoring and adjustments to their ratings.
  • Scrimmage notifications are also posted on our Facebook page.
  • Referees
    • ​1-Ref should be an experienced referee that can handle the game by him/her self.
    • 2-Ref means two whistles on the field, used ONLY in scrimmages.  Referees should be experienced with High School or ready to learn how to run a dual referee system in preparation for HS.
    • 3-Ref (Center and 2 AR's) is the same we run during the league seasons, good opportunity for those who want to gain some center experience.

Scrimmages

Referees are paid on the field as follows:

3-Refs $1.20 per game minute.  (Referee receives 40%, AR's 30% each)
​
2-Refs $1.00 per game minute.  (Referees split the fees) 

1-Ref $0.80 per game minute.

In Arbiter click on the "Notes" icon (2nd Column from the left) this will give you the contact person for the scrimmage and additional information.

Mentoring and Ratings

Referees joining NOCRA usually start with a scrimmage for mentoring and to receive a referee rating.

Mentors are paid on the field $1.00 per game minute.

Referees receive mentoring and receive a NOCRA rating.

Scrimmage Schedule This Week

First we assign all the league and tournament games, then if we have referees available we assign them to your scrimmages.  Scrimmage assignments will be posted here on Friday of each week; we try to post before noon.

WE ARE NOW IN THE BUSIEST TIME OF YEAR, WE CAN HELP YOU WITH WEEKDAY AND EVENING GAMES.

Starting in August we would like all scrimmages to be refereed using the 2019/2020 Laws of the Game, so teams and referees can become more familiar with the latest Law changes.

Slots (Column)
Green Slots means referee(s) assigned and accepted

Yellow means referee(s) assigned, pending acceptance, game will be covered.

Red Slots means that all the positions are not filled. [2/3] = 2 refs assigned, 3 positions requested

[1/4] means we have an experienced referee that will be mentoring referees in preparation for the upcoming season.

    Need a Referee for a Scrimmage?

    THIS FORM IS FOR DOC's, CLUB COACHES AND MANAGERS

    ​For weekend scrimmages please send in the request no later than Thursday.

    If you would like a referee for an upcoming scrimmage complete the following.  

    ​If you have two or more on the same day just make a note and clearly state how many games and their start times.

    Whenever we can we use scrimmages to mentor and observe our referees to prepare them for the league seasons.  There may be Youth Referees, please remind everyone to treat them as if it were their son/daughter, because someday it may just be.
    By submitting this Scrimmage request I agree to notify the referee assignor, a minimum of 12 hours prior to game time should the scrimmage be canceled or rescheduled.  I agree that if either or both teams do not show up the referee(s) will be paid 50% of the fee.
