ALL SEND OFFS require ALL 3 referees to do a USSF Referee Report or Supplemental report within 48 hours

To ALL Refs

This is part of an email I received from the State:

2.  The AYSA Board met on Saturday and has decided that ALL SEND OFFS require ALL 3 referees to do a USSF Referee Report or Supplemental report within 48 hours of the end of the game that had the send offs on.   We had a game played on 15 Aug, that had 3 send offs some of them for VC and no game report was submitted for a week.  These players will not be sanctioned due to referees inability to a submit report in a timely manner. 

Please comply.  A referee was recently indefinitely suspended for failing to file a timely game report.

This weekend, a referee accepted a State game assignment in Arbiter and then did not keep the assignment and did not contact the assignor but instead went to the Auburn Tournament.  The USSF Referee Administrative Handbook lists the priority in referee appointments.  It starts with FIFA assignments and ends with State Cup Competitions!  ALL State Games are State Cup Competition games and take priority over ALL other games.  Failure to honor State Game assignments or declining State Game assignments in order to attend tournaments or other unsanctioned games, including adult indoor, will NOT be tollerated and will result in disciplinary action.  This also includes events like the D-III Play day this weekend.  ALL D-I and D-II State Games must be filled prior to filling D-III games . . .  including playdays!   Referees may be removed from prior assignments of a lower priority or unsanctioned game if needed to fill State game assignments.

Please honor your assignments and help me get the State games filled first.
