Also we
have a Frequently Asked Questions webpage, the 5th question down is
· Q. If I first became a referee
between 9/2011 - 7/2012, I did not have to attend a clinic in 2012 so do I have
to apply to re-register for 2013?
· A. Yes, while you did not have to attend a clinic in 2012,
you must still re-register with USSF in order to be allowed to referee in 2013.
Applying for Referee Registration is really Recertification. Registering for a
Training Clinic is not the same. (Please note, you must attend an Intermediate Clinic in 2013 in order to register for 2014.

Not on the List as a Registered Referee???
Have you been notified by a
Referee Assignor that you are not on the current list of Certified
Referees?
Here are the most common
reasons:
- You didn't re-register with USSF for 2012 -
Registering for a clinic doesn't register you with USSF. That is a separate
process and is done at www.ussoccer.info
- You registered late - If you completed your online registration within the
past month your name may not have had time to get on the list.
- You have the wrong State Association on your USSF file. There are over
140,000 registered referees in the USA. Assignors only get the list for Eastern
PA (EPA) about 2,000.
- You didn't complete your training requirements during 2012.
- You didn't pass the written test (75 or better) during 2012.
- You're a college student who didn't provide verification of full time status
to EPSARC.
You can check your status
by logging in at www.ussoccer.info
and clicking on the referee tab.
How do I get game assignments?
Several weeks prior to each new season, Tom Schuchart (the YorkUSA League assignor) mails out availability surveys to all registered referees whose names appear on his most recent printout from EPSARC. You should carefully complete that form and return it to Tom immediately so that he can include the information in his game assignment decisions.
If you have not received the survey for the Spring season by mid FEBRUARY, or for the Fall season the beginning of AUGUST, contact Tom at shewyusa@comcast.net or (717) 873-0638 to verify your address and certification status. Note that if you did not fulfill all of the USSF recertification requirements last year (ie: attend 5 hours of instruction, pass the written test and submit your USSF registration form to EPSARC then your name will not appear on Tom's list. Neither Tom nor any other assignor can schedule you for games (including tournaments) if you have not properly registered with USSF for 2013.
