Facts to remember:

Pay Sheets Instructions	from our Treasurer: Please ensure all required information on pay sheet is legible, completed in full and signed by coach. Make sure you use a pen that will not smudge if the sheet gets wet. If you are subbing, make sure that you put the name of the ref you are subbing for. If it is a make up a game, and you know when the original game was supposed to take place, please include that information. Include your e mail address on the pay sheet. It is easier to contact you if there are any queries. You may submit a pay sheet for each game or put several on a single sheet. You may submit all your games together at the end of the season. Checks will be sent out on Wednesday of each week whenever possible. Incomplete or incorrect pay sheets may be returned to you for completion. If you do not receive a check within three weeks of mailing the form please contact the treasurer, Marijke Taylor by e mail.
Referee Assignment	Rules of Engagement: Unavailability must be posted by the Sunday night prior to each weekend's games. I will be posting assignments each week on Monday based on your unavailability. If you do not enter unavailability for a particular date and time, it is open to me for assignment. Keep in mind that the times that you list are based on starting times of games. For example if you post that you cannot work from 1-3pm, the web site will still open you up for a 12:30pm game but will not allow me to assign you a 3:00pm game, so please post based on game stating times. Once assignments are posted on Monday you must go into your account and accept the games. Once the assignment is posted you own the game. If you cannot do it, you must reject it and then find a replacement for the game and email me with who that is. All of this must be done by WEDNESDAY of each week. I do not want to be chasing people again this year on Thursday and Friday to get them to either accept their games or to find out who is covering for them. Please accept your games in a timely manner. If you stay on top of your unavailability you should never have to worry about having to reject games and replace yourself. Contact info for all ASC referees is available to everyone on the front page in your account on the left, under the USO Today News section. You can use that if you need to other referee contact info to replace yourselves on a game. Payment for ALL Fall games are done on ASC pay sheets, which are available on the ASC web site to be downloaded. These cane be sent in as often as you like for payment. The treasurer generally pays every few weeks. If you are no longer interested in working ASC games, please let PaulA know so we can delete your account and you will stop getting these emails.
Uniforms	The referee packages are ready for online purchases. All you have to do is go to the ASC Uniform Store. Click on the link that says referee packages on the left side of the menu bar.
Reminders	- Make sure you wear your badges on your shirt. - Arrive at the field at least 15 minutes before game time. - Players must wear the necessary equipment. - Shin pads are mandatory, cleats are not. Sneakers may be worn. Please Notify people that have volunteered to do a game that was up for grabs on email. We had multiple referees show up to do the same game last weekend because of poor communication.
About U8 Games	- U8 is 5v5 (4 field players plus a goalie) - We use 6v6 fields, but the goals are moved to the side lines. The game is played across the 6v6 field, using the 6v6 center line as one side line and the 6v6 end line as the other side line. In other words, only half of the 6v6 field is used.
