STATE SERIES CREW GUIDELINES & STRUCTURE Our goal was too provide an environment where the best officials can excel and more opportunity can be given to those who put the work in to achieve a higher standard of officiating. Minimum Requirements Member in-good-standing with BCBOA and FHSAA Rank 1 or 2 official State Field Clinic within past four years BCBOA Three-Man Training (unless you went to Eval Camp or SFC in the Fall)

COLLECTIONS You are responsible Keep good records Start with the Bookkeeper at the individual school If they have sent it on, confirm the date it was sent forward If they have no record of it, you may need to contact the AD Allow 2 to 3 weeks from the date they gave you If you feel you should have received it based on the information you gained above, contact She has offered to Stay tighter on your JV multi-school events. I would call the following week to make sure paper work is received. For Private Schools, usually a call to the Bookkeeper will rectify the situation If you go past April of 2013 to work on the collections, you are on your own Remember: Kindness goes farther than belligerence

ISSUES

For the most part things have been running smoothly. Nice work for everyone investing in the new jersey Concerns: Tardiness or late for games reminder – don’t discount it Rules Mechanics Knowledge Middle School Quarter Minutes Double Fouls – team in the bonus ?! Last second Shot Talking to Coaches Coach or player ejections Anything else come up???
