Assignment Policy

There are three factors that will determine your assignments and rating (game level you can referee):
  1. USSF Grade
  2. Ability to Manage the Game
  3. Responsibility (arriving 30 minutes before game time and honoring your assignments).

You represent not only yourself, but also your assignors, the Board of Directors and the entire NOCRA Membership. If you fail to show up to a game, we can lose that tournament or the league assignments.

If you are running late please call the other referees on your games.



A fee of $15 will be charged for the following:
  1. Declining games when you submitted your availability (and Arbiter Calendar not blocked)
  2. Failing to follow the assigning rules
  3. Turning back an accepted game(s) within 72 hours
  4. Turning back 10 or more times
  5. Failing to mail or submit the CSL Match Report
  6. Failing to submit a Misconduct Report within 24 hours after a Send off

If you find a replacement and notify your assignor prior to the game you will not receive a reassigning fine.

$25 Late Fee

$40 No Show Fee​

Repeated problems
  1. May lose self-assign privilege
  2. Persistent problems will result in referee suspension.
