Each date must state whether you are or are not available and contain either a range for time or "All Day." If you do not give a date as available, the system will default to unavailable. If you know for sure that you will be unavailable for that date (such as a vacation), then please mark it as unavailable.

Remember, certain games (i.e.: Ft. Snelling games and sites with double headers) usually start at 6:00 pm - - so if you say you are not available before 6 pm, your name will not come up as available for me to schedule you for double headers and other games starting at that time. (You will need to uncheck the "All Day" box in order to put in available times.)

You can schedule one day at a time, a week at a time, a month at a time or specific days all at once (for example, if you're available for all Mondays). To complete an entire month, click on "Switch to Multiple Month Mode" and a date range will be available.

For a specific explanation of how to schedule or questions, click on "NEED HELP" on the availability page.

Start time for most games are at 6:30 pm for the men and 6:45 pm for the women.

Please note that first year adult league referees will likely be given mostly AR positions, at least to start with. This is not personal. Also, if you are under 18, you will likely be assigned mostly AR positions.
