Referee Points System (RPS)
AYSO 1315
AYSO Region 1315 has implemented a Referee Points System (RPS). The RPS is designed to encourage more people to referee in our region. It is also designed to motivate volunteers to obtain higher levels of certification as their kids get older.
Referee Points are required to determine a U10 and U12 team's eligibility to participate in the Commissioner’s Cup Invitational held at the end of the season. Referee Points are not required for Playground, U6, U8 and U14. However, the U6 and U8 teams with the first and second most referee points will receive money towards an end of season party.
How the RPS Works
Referee Points are earned by volunteering to be the Center Referee (U8 and older) or Assistant Referee (U10 and older) games.
U10 and U12 teams are required to earn 16 Referee Points to qualify for the Commissioner’s Cup Invitational. No less than 6 points and no more than 10 points can be accrued by half way through the season. The remainder 6-10 points have to be earned in the second half of the season.
U10 or U12 Center Referees earn 3 points per game.
U8 Center Referees earn 1 points per game.
Assistant Referees (AR) earn 1 point per game.
A referee MUST be an AYSO certified Regional Referee, sign up on the game spreadsheet and be dressed in full referee uniform in order to receive points. Club Linesmen (uncertified volunteers) are not eligible to earn Referee Points.
Referees can allocate their earned Referee Points to any team they desire, however, they must select these teams by the 4th week of games (or when the sign up, if it is after the 4 weeks). For instance, if an individual Center Refs two (2) games that referee could allocate 3 points to Team A and 3 points to Team B. Surplus referee points are not transferable to teams with deficits. Each team is responsible for meeting its obligations.
Reporting Referee Points
Referee points are awarded to those who sign up on the spreadsheet and fulfill their referee responsibilities. An individual's referee points will be divided evenly among the teams they indicated unless otherwise conveyed by email to the Ref Admin, [email protected].
