For all referees seeking upgrade in referee level, the assessments should be completed within a twelve-month time period. No more than two failing assessments can occur within that time period. A third failure terminates the upgrade process for that registration year and the candidate must restart the process in the next registration year, starting with zero assessments. National Referee candidates must get their upgrade assessments in the December 1-November 30 time period in the year prior to National camp attendance. A third failure terminates the upgrade process for that year for National candidates.
For annual maintenance assessments for State and National referees, the first failure will require only one additional passing assessment (1 for 1). For the second, or additional failures, the two for one criteria applies (i.e. two passing assessments needed to offset the failed assessment). Make up assessments must be on the same level game, or higher, as the failed assessment.
