Important message from The RRSNY

 

As stated in a previous notice,  we had planned to have a meeting this Sunday January 8th.  It should be
noted that when we sent out the first notice for this meeting the due date for schedules was December 15th! 
As of this morning, we have only received schedules from most of the high schools, but ONLY 4 clubs and
one college. 

 
Because the intent of the meeting was to discuss scheduling, assigning, and recruiting of referees it is
pointless to have a meeting this Sunday with such a low number of schedules to work with.

 
Therefore, please note the following
 
NEW MEETING DATE    - SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5th, XAVIER HIGH SCHOOL -
Noon - 2:00 PM

 
ALL CLUBS AND COLLEGES MUST ATTEND THIS MEETING
 
ALL SCHEDULES ARE DUE ASAP!   SCHEDULES MUST BE RECEIVED BY
END OF DAY, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 3RD.  
We plan to publish the schedule for use at
the meeting so schedules received after February 3rd will not get any priority in assignments.

 
We will be discussing the following items that the clubs will be required to provide in order to receive referee
services for the coming year.  These items will be described in detail in the following pages:

·        Referee recruiting – club, college, high school requirements
·        Guidelines for confirming referees and sanctions for failure to do so
·        Guidelines for scheduling matches and for changing dates once the schedule has been set.
·        Financial Obligations of the clubs (society dues, expenses, tournament fees)

 ONCE AGAIN, ATTENDANCE AT THIS MEETING IS MANDATORY.   A club must send a
representative to the meeting with the information required or will not get referee services for the spring season.

CLUB REFEREE LIST
As the clubs are well aware, they must supply a ref (or refs) to be available for a specified number of matches
in the Spring and Fall.   We have reviewed the "Club Ref" list that is on the website.   Below is the list of Club
Referees we consider "Current" (that is, they have reffed at some point in the last year). You will note that
some of your member whom you MAY have considered club referees are not listed.   That is because they
have not refereed in the last year and are no longer eligible.

Please review the attached list and on January 8th, be prepared to either confirm that they are still your club
referee, or if you have a replacement.

The following guidelines also apply to "club referee" status:
 
A) Any "new" refs must take the upcoming Level 1 Referee Clinic. 
B) Current RRSNY referees who are "full time" DO NOT count towards a filling a club's requirement
for referees 

More information will be sent as we get closer to the meeting.  Please do not hesitate to contact any
of us if you have any questions.

Sincerely

The RRSNY Executive Committee:
Tom Tani – President,  Jem McDowall – Vice President, TA Fitzpatrick – Match Secretary,
Paul Bethe – Treasurer, Andrew MacNeaney - Secretary
