Referees, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CORRECTLY CHECKIN COACHES & PLAYERS! YES THE COACHES SHOULD HAVE THE CORRECT ROSTER READY TO GO AT CHECKIN.

Note the heading on each of the slides and that you can ONLY swipe to the left! EVERY WEEK I RECEIVE AT LEAST 10 EMAILS THAT REFEREES ARE NOT CORRECTLY CHECKING IN COACHES & PLAYERS, THE CENTER REFEREE IS RESPONSIBLE TO VERIFY THE CORRECT PROCEDURE. YOU WILL BE REMOVE FORM WORKING AS A CENTER REFEREE IN THE FUTURE IF DIRECTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED.
