Assignments

Arbiter Sports

Keeping Mark-offs (Blocks) current in Arbiter was the #1 issue in 2013-14.

Officials place blocks in Arbiter for specific dates. Then, when their game is rescheduled to a date that they had blocked, they send an email saying that date was really open.

Arbiter Points of Emphasis

Closed dates must be kept current and blocked in Arbiter

2012-13 2013-14 Declines: 161 Games 404 Games Turnbacks: 130 Games 201 Games Total: 291 Games 605 Games

Cancellation Fees have been eliminated. New policy will involved

loss of future assignments.

Arbiter Sports continued…

I can't call a ball game until at least 4:30 pm.

Arbiter – Reasons for Declining Assignments

Work conflict. Not going to be able to get out for 3:30 start.I have some family travel plansI have to work my regular job from 9 to 5 on SaturdayWill be out of town from Sat. morn until Sunday at noon....In re-hab that weekI can’t get off work until 5:30Have a college baseball game at 1:00Scheduling conflict

I am sorry I thought I had blocked out my scheduleWorking

I cannot leave school until 4:00PM. I am available but not until 4:30PM at the earliest

Arbiter – Reasons for Declining Assignments

Traveling out of town on business

Can't leave until 3:50 PMTraveling for Thanksgiving

I will be working high school football state playoff games on Fridays until December 6

I work 7 to 3 on Saturday I thought I blocked all of my Saturdays until 3

Will be out of state (never had a Saturday game)

HurtI forgot to block out my dates

Forgot I had a Relay meeting that afternoon

Out of town with family for holidays

1. Confirm all Assignments with the Referee – no excuse for a no-show! R, it’s up to you to enforce.

2. Dress Code: Business Casual3. Arrive 30 hour prior to tip4. On floor at 15 minutes5. High School Mechanics A Requirement

(that alone will not get you a State Championship, but it will keep you out of one!)

Discussion Points

1. At end of half, crew meets at center circle to make sure arrow is correct, score is correct and all books in agreement.

2. No comment and thank you is the extent of your conversations.

Discussion Points

Official called a coach “boy” and told him to sit down

Official told scorekeeper they were not going to call anything against the other team

Official told coach he got “no call” absolutely correct and to send them film to RSO. (He did and not only did we miss it, we should have ruled the foul flagrant)

Why do we say anything that can be misinterpreted?

What Coach’s told me last year:

1. Don’t wait until the last minute. Take it on Monday or Tuesday so you have time to deal with issues.

2. Make absolutely sure your email address in NFHS matches youe email address on the NCHSAA site exactly!

3. Must make 75 or higher to work NCHSAA games. (Lost 3 officials for the season last year)

4. Must be a Class I or II Official to work Post-Season State Tournament (Lost 7 officials for the play-offs)

NFHS Testing

Ejections – Must communicate to the coach and let him know whether it is a DQ or ejection. Don’t leave the gym without everyone knowing.

Calling official must submit the report within 24 hours, but don’t delay. Do it that night!

Report also required for DQ’s, etc so the players will have to go through the STAR program.

Coach can be DQ’d (2nd technical for being out of box) or ejected (disrespectfully addressing official). Get this right! Both require reports.

Fighting adds 2 games to the suspension. Do not call a second T on the coach during same dead ball

interval unless he storms the court. Please let your partner handle this.

Disqualifications and Ejections

First confirmed scrimmage so far is 11/5

First confirmed game so far is 10/30

Season begins in full force on 11/17

We will utilize a hybrid approach to scheduling scrimmages. Clinic leaders will schedule, then Arbiter Self Assign to cover remaining scrimmages

Self Assign - Sign up, SHOW UP!
