• Scheduling. Our Tarrant chapter of referees uses an online system called the Arbiter Sports for scheduling referees. To aid in setting up assignments, we ask that the schools input their game schedules so we can assign the referees. Process for entering schedules follows:
    • Area Representative will contact the coaches and adminstrator to confirm team(s) participation
    • Schools submit information on fields that they will be using
    • Area Reps will submit school user information and filed information to the executive team for arbiter setup
    • Schools will receive user id's and can be begin entering team schedules
    • Schools needing assistance in entering schedules should contact their area rep. (Don't be surprised if we contact the schools first to deterine status of schedules)
    • Our assignor will then starting making referee assignments.

    NOTE Nearly half of all games are played during the month ofJanuary. We begin assigning January games in December and so ask that coaches get their schedules entered by the beginning of December.

  • 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 Area representative. Contact information for reps can be found on the Area Reps Page.

  • Rules Questions If you have questions about NF rules on soccer, please contact our training officer who can liasie with 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. State Rules Interpreter 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?. Referee feedback can be entered directly into the Arbiter Sports website. If additional space or information is required, please use a 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. Game reports must be submitted to the referee crew 10 minutes before the game. Coaches can add names to the roster after submission.

  • 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.
