Based on your assigned organization’s policy, you may be able to search for and claim your own game assignments.
1. Click on the Self-Assign menu option on the left side of your referee page. A list of all self-assign enabled games will appear. This view will display all Self-Assign enabled games that you are eligible and available for (grade level, status, blackout dates, and region/map preferences are all taken into account to determine eligibility).
2. To narrow down the list of self-assign eligible games, you can use the Search box or click on any column header to sort or filter the list. Once you have located a game you would like to accept, click the Accept button
3. The game will appear on the Calendar view just as games that were sent directly by assignors appear. The ‘Assigned By:’ section will indicate if a game was Self-Assigned.
4. To correct a self-assignment mistake, contact your assignor or admin contact who can set the status of the game role back to empty. Game roles that are Self-Assigned will trigger an email to all assignors who have assignment rights for the season.
Changing the Status of Accepted Assignments
There are two potential ways to change the status of an accepted game assignment in the case that you can no longer referee the game assigned to you.
Contact your assignor. The assignor’s name is available on your game event detail card accessed on your calendar view.
Based on eligibility settings set by system admins and assignors, some games can be set back to ‘Available’ status by the referees themselves. This can be done by clicking on the game event detail card accessed on your calendar view. Set the ‘Set as AVAILABLE’ setting to On. Games that have been set back to available will display on the assignment calendar in pink.
Setting an accepted assignment back to available will place the game back into the Self-Assign list for another referee to accept. When the game is picked up by another referee, an email notification will be sent to the original referee updating them about the assignment.
If the game assignment is not accepted by another referee in advance of the game start time, the original referee is still responsible for completing the assignment.
