 All  referees—How to configuire New Online schduler

Register on the “Online Game Scheduler” You will see

Here is what you want to select.

Volunteer Form:

All AYSO volunteers must complete the AYSO Volunteer eForm annually.  If you have not done so already, you can complete the volunteer form online at www.eayso.org.

Law 11 New Interpretations:

Min 10 games per team to qualify for the Regional Tournament:
Team Referees, remember that you are responsible for refing a min of 10 games for your team to qualify for the Regional tournament at the end of the regular season.  The number of games you ref will be calculated by the scores inputted via the online game scheduler.  It is also suggested that you keep the game cards.  Game cards will be collected at the ref meetings.

No Ref, No Game:

AYSO National has mandated that a referee be at all U10-U19 games. If there is not a ref at a game, then the game cannot be played.  This becomes critical to the kids that play other teams within our Region because the game will go down as a loss since the home team is expected to provide a referee.  All though the game cannot be played, the kids can still play a scrimmage game.

Referees, you make the call... A fun interactive Q&A.  10/02/06
Normally, those 'test yourself' soccer law questions (particularly those online) feature vague descriptions requiring more implicit information than the English language can provide, even with all of the French words that entered the language after the Normans conquered England. However, US Soccer's "You Make The Call" shows actual video of youth games before asking for your opinion in poll form. After your response, you'll be shown the correct answer, an explanation referred to the LOTG, and the percentage of people who selected the various choices. You can make the call yourself at http://www.ussoccer.com/poll/poll.jsp.html Be sure to visit the archive to test yourself with up to 118 video clips
