12. Arbiter Sports • Fourth year for TBOA • Pictures required by Sunday night, 10/5/2014 • Closed dates must be kept current • Check your email regularly and often during the season, everyday! • Accept regular season assignments within 3 days • You will receive a reminder 3 days out • Accept all Tournament and Post Season Assignments within 24 hours. • No Cancellation Fees – Loss of Future Assignments

13. Arbiter Points of Emphasis • Keeping Mark-offs (Blocks) current in Arbiter was the #1 issue in 2013-14. • Officials place blocks in Arbiter for specific dates. Then, when their game is rescheduled to a date that they had blocked, they send an email saying that date was really open.

14. Arbiter Sports continued… • Closed dates must be kept current and blocked in Arbiter • 2012-132013-14 • Declines: 161 Games 404 Games • Turnbacks: 130 Games 201 Games • Total: 291 Games 605 Games Cancellation Fees have been eliminated. New policy will involved loss of future assignments.

15. Arbiter – Reasons for Declining Assignments I can't call a ball game until at least 4:30 pm. Work conflict. Not going to be able to get out for 3:30 start. I have some family travel plans I have to work my regular job from 9 to 5 on Saturday Will be out of town from Sat. morn until Sunday at noon.... In re-hab that week I can’t get off work until 5:30 Have a college baseball game at 1:00 Scheduling conflict I am sorry I thought I had blocked out my schedule Working I cannot leave school until 4:00PM. I am available but not until 4:30PM at the earliest

16. Arbiter – Reasons for Declining Assignments Traveling out of town on business Traveling for Thanksgiving Can't leave until 3:50 PM I will be working high school football state playoff games on Fridays until December 6 I work 7 to 3 on Saturday I thought I blocked all of my Saturdays until 3 Will be out of state (never had a Saturday game) Hurt I forgot to block out my dates Forgot I had a Relay meeting that afternoon Out of town with family for holidays

17. Discussion Points • Confirm all Assignments with the Referee – no excuse for a no-show! R, it’s up to you to enforce. • Dress Code: Business Casual • Arrive 30 hour prior to tip • On floor at 15 minutes • High School Mechanics A Requirement (that alone will not get you a State Championship, but it will keep you out of one!)

18. Discussion Points • At end of half, crew meets at center circle to make sure arrow is correct, score is correct and all books in agreement. • No comment and thank you is the extent of your conversations.

19. What Coach’s told me last year: • Official called a coach “boy” and told him to sit down • Official told scorekeeper they were not going to call anything against the other team • Official told coach he got “no call” absolutely correct and to send them film to RSO. (He did and not only did we miss it, we should have ruled the foul flagrant) • Why do we say anything that can be misinterpreted?

20. NFHS Testing • Don’t wait until the last minute. Take it on Monday or Tuesday so you have time to deal with issues. • Make absolutely sure your email address in NFHS matches youe email address on the NCHSAA site exactly! • Must make 75 or higher to work NCHSAA games. (Lost 3 officials for the season last year) • Must be a Class I or II Official to work Post-Season State Tournament (Lost 7 officials for the play-offs)

21. Disqualifications and Ejections • Ejections – Must communicate to the coach and let him know whether it is a DQ or ejection. Don’t leave the gym without everyone knowing. • Calling official must submit the report within 24 hours, but don’t delay. Do it that night! • Report also required for DQ’s, etc so the players will have to go through the STAR program. • Coach can be DQ’d (2nd technical for being out of box) or ejected (disrespectfully addressing official). Get this right! Both require reports. • Fighting adds 2 games to the suspension. • Do not call a second T on the coach during same dead ball interval unless he storms the court. Please let your partner handle this.

22. Scrimmages • First confirmed scrimmage so far is 11/5 • First confirmed game so far is 10/30 • Season begins in full force on 11/17 • We will utilize a hybrid approach to scheduling scrimmages. Clinic leaders will schedule, then Arbiter Self Assign to cover remaining scrimmages • Self Assign - Sign up, SHOW UP!

23. Game Fees • Fees are set by the NCHSAA and will remain the same for the 2014-2015 season. • Single Game $66 • Double Header $91 • Single Game Tournament $76 • Double Header Tournament $106 • JV / V Doubleheaders same as Varsity

24. Observations / Evaluations • On track to evaluate 100% until inclement weather on 1/21, 1/28 and 2/11 derailed everything! Farmer’s Almanac predicts cold, snowy winter for NC • We will continue to aggressively observe and evaluate our staff. • HUDL / Krossover: Video Platforms • TBOA Mandates (William Covington, Sr.)

25. TBOA Website www.triadbasketball.com • Current News & Information • Quizzes, Surveys, Feedback • Newsletters, Videos • No attendance sheets tonight. • Attendance will be recorded from earlier State Rules Clinic
