Read the information below to understand Referee rankings and how they change.

WHAT IS A RANKING?

Referee rankings are how a referee is matched to the appropriate level of game that their skills and experience are currently well matched for. This means this is the level of game that our system currently will allow you to be self-assigned or direct assign to without the Assignor overriding the pre-set rankings.

HOW DOES ONE KNOW THEIR RANKING?

If a referee wants to know their ranking, please contact the assignor. The assignor will let you know your Referee and then AR ranking. They are usually different as most referee's experience grow faster as an AR.

Example: Your ranking is a 300/225.

You can center up to:

300

U15, U16G

U13, U14

U13

You can AR up to:

225

U19G

U15

U14,U15G

WHAT DOES THE RANKING CHART LOOK LIKE?

Each referee in LRA has a "Referee" (center) and an "AR" ranking. We do not rank differently for AR1 or AR2. The ranking one has for either position when matched to the table below will let the referee know what they are currently ranked to do games.

CAN ONE DO A GAME OUTSIDE OF THEIR RANKING?

The Assignor may override the set rankings when a referee is ready to try a game above their current rankings to grow. Such games would have more experienced referees and/or mentors also assigned to the game for support and feedback in this learning opportunity.

HOW CAN A REFEREE RANKING CHANGE?

LRA is a strong supporter that every referee strive to be the best referee that person is capable of being. We provide mentoring, continuous feedback, and work with a referee's personal goals and realistic level growth. Let us know where you want to head and we will support you as much as we can. Contact the Mentor Coordinator or Assignor on how we can support you.

A referee's ranking will change over time as one's own skills and experience grow at their own pace.
