CSOA Communication KNOW WHO YOUR PARTNERS ARE Establish a two-way link the day before—phone or Confirm the venue and the start time Make sure all cell numbers are known One person (preferably lead) monitor arbiter Doesn’t hurt to check school website or call school hotline Avoid calling the Athletic Director or staff Avoid calling me for routine matters

Post Game Procedures Verify score and determine sportsmanship points with crew. Lead official keeps game rosters Close out game in arbiter, score and crew verification is all that is needed Complete CSOA game report and ejection report(s) for hard red cards Call Pete’s soccer line to report hard red cards and/or issues with coaches or game administrators that Pete and Dick need to know about

Assignor Philosophy All things equal, minimum travel distance Make sure departure zip codes reflect reality May need you to go south and west, anyway “Accept By” date, now a firm one week out If not accepted, game will be reassigned If you habitually have gear with you, let me know Rescheds come fast and furious, stay tuned Be flexible on rainy days, venues change
