13. 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
