BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — The 2017 Men’s Collegiate Club Referee Availability Form is online. The firm deadline for submitting the form is Monday, August 8, for officials to designate their availability during the course of the season.
Officials are asked to review the following instructions before completing the availability form:
1) When completing your availability form it is imperative that you include your full last name, first initial and preference number for each event on THAT DATE you select for each weekend. Example, John Smith’s first choice for a particular weekend should be listed as “Smith, J 1” and his second choice as “Smith, J 2” in the space provided after the event. If he is only selecting one event on a weekend it should still be listed as “Smith, J 1” in the space provided after that event.
2) Any referee planning to work a CWPA league event must first pass the NCAA RULES TEST PRIOR TO THE START OF THE SEASON. The new NCAA test is available and can be found on this web site.
