GUIDELINES TO AVOID SELF-ASSIGNED GAMES BEING TAKEN AWAY:

Is this your first season as a referee?  AR positions only.  No centers.  No ODSL games.  No U8s.
All positions on ODSL games require at least one season of experience at the same age on non-ODSL games.
Do not self-assign three centers in a row unless all the AR positions are covered.
Avoid taking the second game of the day if the first game of the day is uncovered.
No one may work for more than 5 hours without a break.  Rare exceptions for a few adults.
Do not take U16/U19 games until you have comfortably officiated U14 games.
Do not take a center until you have comfortably officiated that age as an AR.

Contact me if you take a U8 game for the first time.  The U8s are special to me, which is one reason they pay so well, but they are also different, and I want to chat with you first about them.

Send me an email if you find no games available, or you want to work together as a family.

Check our handbook at www.brycrefs.org for additional information.

HOW TO SELF ASSIGN IN GAME OFFICIALS

If you read nothing else, read this:

-       You must be logged in to Group 1389.
-       You can’t self-assign if you have blocked availability on that date.
-       You must set a date range in the self-assign filters.

Use Google Chrome.  Other browsers cause unexpected results.
Log in to Game Officials and click “Change Identity.”
Click on “Switch” next to Group 1389-RefSoccer.Net.
If asked for a USSF ID, enter: 0000-0000-0000-0000
Click Personal Info > My Availability.  Make sure the dates you want to self-assign are not blocked.  You cannot see self-assignable games on days with a block.

Click Personal Info > Self-Assign.
Click the “+” to open Game Filters.
Ensure “All” is showing after each of the seven filters at the top of the form.
Click “Custom Dates” and put in a range of dates you want to view.
Click “Reload.”
Click the position (Referee or AR) for the game you want.

WARNING: There is no “ARE YOU SURE?” button.  Once you click on the position, the game is yours.  If you experience an OOPS moment, send me an email and I can correct it.

Note that there is a limit on the number of games you may self-assign in a day.  You can come back tomorrow for more.

When done, click My Games to ensure your assignments posted correctly.
