Remember to list every site you are willing to attend even if you may
not want to work every weekend. We cannot guarantee that you will always
be scheduled to all the weekends you request. It is also equally important
that you indicate the maximum number of weekends you are willing to work
to ensure that you are not over-scheduled.
As a reminder,
in order to work a varsity event an official MUST work
a minimum of one club assignment. This means any official submitting a
varsity availability form must also submit a club availability form. Failure
to do so will result in the forfeiture of all varsity assignments. Additionally,
all varsity assignments must be approved by the Technical Committee before
being released.
Weekend
On-Call Referee
The On-Call Referee will be the first person contacted to work on that
particular weekend. This would occur when a referee returns an assignment
at the last minute. The On-Call Referee will be requested to stay available
up to 24 hours prior to the start of their assigned weekend. In addition
to receiving the current league fees and accommodations, this official
would have their travel costs covered. The purpose of this is to help
ensure adequate weekend coverage as well as reward those officials making
themselves available on short notice.
On the availability
form, please indicate any weekend you are willing to work as the On-Call
Official by checking next to the “Available as Weekend On-Call Referee.”
Please note if you accept your on-call assignment you must remain available.
Digital
Photos
Every referee planning to officiate at a CWPA event is required to send
the office a current headshot for the purpose of posting on the assignment
page of the website. A link will be attached from your name to your photo
in order to allow coaches and fellow referees to see you prior to a tournament.
It will also be utilized to help identify officials for the midseason
rankings. If you do not have a digital photo of yourself, please send
a current headshot to the office for us to scan and we will return your
photo with your first paycheck. In addition, your first paycheck of the
season will be held until a headshot is on file.
Payment
Process
Our office works on a two week pay cycle (typically the second and last
week of each month). We do our best to make sure you receive your payment
within a timely manner. Payments are processed based off the submission
of the Head Referee Report. In order to receive any approved reimbursements,
the office must receive the original receipts before the reimbursement
check will be sent. If
you ever have a question regarding a payment please contact the office
immediately and we will do our best to answer your concerns. Click here
for a complete description of the current pay
scale.
Additional
Information
As we have now done for several seasons, the CWPA will pay the insurance
for every referee who works a minimum of two league games. This added
benefit is one more way the CWPA wants to show its commitment to our officials
for their continuous hard work. This insurance will be carried by an organization
outside of the NASO. Referees working events outside the CWPA are encouraged
to continue their membership with the NASO for added security.
