How Games Are Assigned

• What criteria is used• What criteria is NOT used

OrWhy don’t I get the games I want and why does someone else get

them?

Real Assigning Criteria• What criteria is used• Types of Assigning:–Regular Assigning–Open Games Assigning–Special Events Assigning

Common Criteria• TEAMS COME FIRST• Availability• Registration level• Meeting attendance• Restrictions from teams/partners• How tough the game is expected to

be—and might be

More Common Criteria• Exposure to teams• How many games an official has in

a day, in a row, overall• Travel to/from other games• Mentoring situations - for both new

officials and for experienced officials as mentors

Skills Criteria• Skating ability• Awareness• Judgment• Rule knowledge• Attitude• Reputation• Consistency• Dependability

How Are Skills Evaluated?• Evaluations– You never know who is in the

building– I go out and watch officials—not

always announced– I get feedback from senior officials,

partners, coaches, parents• How to get evaluated

Regular Assigning• Availability for date, time, location• Try to get as many games filled as

possible with at least two officials• I track if an official submitted

availability and I was not able to assign them

• I also look for mentoring situations

Open Games Assigning• Try to prevent canceled games• Balance out Open Games• Was official available?• I look for mentoring situations

Special Events Assigning• Done by Committee• Availability for date, time, location• We try to look at how many games

each official gets• We try to identify where officials

have not gotten enough games

That’s How It Is Done• I think that we have a process that is

very fair• You may not agree• Always looking for new ideas—that

are fair• Feel free to ask me about why you

don’t get assignments—but be prepared for brutal honesty i.e. you may not like what you hear
