- Referees will be
given the following information by the Assignor:
- The date of the
match(s) and the Home Club name
- The number of games
and age/conference of teams (in some cases, the first game home team #
is given)
- The web site
address to directly obtain Club Representative Contact information and
field directions
i.
Saturday Matches – SJGSL at
www.SJGSL.org
ii.
Sunday Matches – SJSL at
www.SJSLorg
- Referees will access
the appropriate web site:
- SJGSL.Org – go to
Member Clubs for
Contact information which
will also have the club’s internet web sites for field directions
- SJSL.Org – go to
Club info and then either select
Club Reps or Field Directions
- In the past, referees
have always been given the name and phone number of the club rep by the
assignor. Every referee was always expected to contact the club rep.
However, this did not always happen. The club rep and field assignment
information can now be found by simply clicking on the appropriate League
web sites noted above. The Leagues want each referee to get this
information from the websites, not from the assignor. This is the first
step in a process intended to streamline the assigning process, hopefully
to the benefit of all concerned, i.e., referees, assignors, club reps and
the Leagues.
- Contacting the
clubs is important because it prevents officials from:
i.
Going to the wrong field based on your previous assignments to Club
ii.
Not knowing that the games have been cancelled due to locally
unplayable field conditions even though the respective Leagues may not have
cancelled ALL matches
iii.
Multiple fields at a Club venue prevents listing on web page
iv.
Waiting for game payments from League/Clubs for last minute
cancelled/no-show matches by a team/club for any number of reasons if they
failed to contact you in a timely manner
- When using email,
the subject line should contain references to SJSL or USSF referee
weekend assignments at a particular Club to prevent your internet
provider from thinking it’s a SPAM message
- Whether by phone or
email - include your name and telephone number as well as the number of
games and age/conference of the teams to assist the Club Representative
in identifying the field you will be on
- When leaving
information by phone, please speak slowly and clearly when leaving your
return contact information.
- If you leave a
phone message or send an email, you should receive a return message with
specific field designations from the Club.
If you did not
get a return call, inform
Referee@sjsl.org and attach copy of email message to club or indicate
date and time of your telephone call to the Club Representative. Clubs are
also instructed to contact
Referee@sjsl.org if a referee did not notify the Club representative of
their assignment. |
