I just re-certified and the status says "pending" This is normal. Registrations are processed at least once a week at the North Texas Office. During high volume times (end of the year, the deadlines) registrations are processed daily but registrations are not processed on the weekend.
How do I know if I have to re-certify? Look at your badge, what year is on it. If it's May 2018 and your badge says – 2016 or 2017. You need to re-certify. If it's July 2018 and your badge says 2017, you need to re-certify. Your badge will tell you what you need to know. ALL referees MUST re-certify to referee EVERY year. It's best to get it done before the current year ends. Avoid the rush of last minute registrants.
I signed up for a clinic but can no longer attend, what do I do? This happens and that's fine. You remove yourself from the clinic you can no longer attend. You can sign up for a different one. The money from the original class transfers to the new class. This is all good if it's done in a timely manner. Timely – 72 hours prior to the start of the class. Policy states – if you do not withdrawal from a class and are a no show, you will lose the administration fees associated with the class.
