- Scheduling. Our tarrant chapter of referees uses an online system called the TheArbiter.net for scheduling referees. We'll need input from the schools to set up the game schedules so we can assign the referees. Step one is having the schools tell us what fields they are using and who can have access to the online system to enter game schedules and changes. Once we have the fields and users, we'll be sending logon information to the users so they can then enter the game schedules. Bonnie Wick will be making the referee assignments as usual but through the system.
- Who should you call?. Please contact Bonnie Wick for schedules and referee assignments. Although Bonnie might call to ask about a specific referee's performance, this is not an invitation for you to call her for anything other than schedules and assignment. Concerns, complaints, etc should be directed to your district rep. Contact information for reps can be found on the District Reps Page.
- Rules Questions If you have questions about NF rules on soccer, please contact our own Fred Hiler who serves as the Rules Interpreter for Texas. His contact information can be found on our Executive Team Page. If you aren't sure, please ask. No one wants to disqualify a player for a misinterpretation of the rules by either the coach or the official. All inquiries are accepted especially the more common ones regarding uniform, equipment, jewelry and religious garments or symbols. Fred's responses will be sent to the officials' community. We suggest that coaches keep the responses with their game papers in case they need to be referred to at game time. The latest rulings can also be found on this website at the following link: Rulings.
- How to submit referee evaluations?. We have provided a copy of the TASO evaluation form on our website. Coaches should download the form, fill it out and then send it to either the Chapter Secretary or the Chapter Trainer. The form can be be found on our Forms Page and email addresses can be found on our Executive Team Page
- Scrimmage Notice . All scrimmages between schools should have TASO assigned refs per UIL rules. Refs are not to be paid but rather, the TASO chapter is to be paid for their services. Rate is $50 for 3 hours and $25 for each additional hour. Refs will provide forms for the reimbursement (also found here).
- UIL Roster. The only accepted form for game report/roster is the official one published by TASO/UIL. You can find it here: Word Format. Please note that all TASO referees have been instructed to accept no other document and will not start the game unless one is provided.
- Reschedules/Cancellations?. Weather related cancellations should be reported to Bonnie Wick no later than 4 hours before game time. Other reschedules or cancellations should be submitted to Bonnie at least 72 hours before game time.
- TASO/School Agreement The agreement (including operating procedures) between the TASO official's chapter and the school can be found here:Word Format
