Each All-Star team will have the responsibility of supplying 3 (+ 1 alternate) qualified/certified referees for each tournament. One of the three must be competent/certified to referee every match assigned - ie three Assistant Referees don't make a complete ref team. If the Head Coach is one of the team referees, the team must then have 2 referees and 2 AR's (however, head coaches may not referee in Area or Section playoffs). Tournament dates are listed below.
Commitment: Selected referees are expected to commit to representing their assigned team for the entire All Star season (for each tournament). Substitute referees are only allowed from the group of Post-Season referees approved by the Region 83 Ref Staff and Regional Referee Administrators (ie referees not representing a specific team).
2022-23 All Star (Post Season) Referee Application due Saturday, October 29, 2022. The Ref Administrators will be emailing out a Google form for refs to apply. Questions? Email [email protected] or [email protected]
