STSR REFEREE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
1.4 SYSTEMS OF OFFICIATING SOCCER GAMES (Outdoor)

The system of officiating soccer games shall be as described in the Laws of the Game and the USSF Referee Administrative Handbook.

1.4.1 Assignment of Game Officials

Assignment of Games Officials shall be as described in the USSF Referee Administrative Handbook and this STSR Handbook, in accordance with USSF policy.

1.4.2 Recertification and Upgrade Requirements

Recertification and upgrade requirements of referees, instructors, and assessors shall be in accordance with USSF policy.

1.4.3 Assessments

1.4.3.1 Scheduling Assessments

The Referee/Assistant Referee (currently registered) contacts the referee assignor to obtain an assessable game.

Upon receiving an appropriate assignment, the referee should notify the District Director of Referee Assessment of this game. No assessment may be accepted from games in unaffiliated leagues and all members of the referee crew must be currently registered with the USSF. The District Director of Referee Assessment will then determine the availability of assessors.

If available, an assessor will be assigned to assess the referee.

The referee shall bring the appropriate fee for the assessment to the game. Only one assessment fee per game is applicable. The assessment fee must be paid prior to the assessment by check or money order made payable to "STSR" (No Cash).

The upgrade assessment fees are:
Grade 08 or 07: $25.00 or game fee (whichever is higher)
State 06 or 05: $40.00 or game fee (whichever is higher)

Once the game is complete, the referee will receive the feedback form in the mail (or email) within seven days (within 72 hours if electronic media, e.g., email is used). If the feedback form does not arrive within the appropriate time, the referee should contact the District Director of Referee Assessment.

Referee assessments will be limited to one per day.
