Volunteer Point Program Summary
Volunteer Point Program Summary
(2008-2009)
Volunteer Point Totals for divisions, teams and individual referees
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Volunteer Point Program is to help ensure that AYSO Region 76 recruits, trains, certifies and fields enough volunteer referees to officiate at our Regional games. In this Program, volunteers agree to referee games during our Regional Regular Season (usually September through most of November) and Preliminary (pool play) Playoff Rounds, which will take place in late November and early December, 2008.
Referee volunteers earn Volunteer Points which they allocate to one or more teams.
During the 2008-2009 Season, teams in Division U10 must earn at least 18 volunteer points and teams in Divisions U12 - U14 must earn at least 21 volunteer points to qualify for the Final (elimination) Round of our Regional Playoffs, which leads to Area and Section Playoffs. Teams that fail to accumulate the required points will play the same number of Regular Season and Preliminary Playoff games, but will not advance to the Final Playoff Round. Teams that fail to accumulate the required Volunteer Points cannot become Regional champions.
During the Final (elimination) Rounds of our playoffs, teams must earn an additional 2 points in the first weekend to be eligible for advancement to the 2nd weekend. Teams that qualify for the 2nd (semifinal/final) weekend of our elimination rounds must then earn an additional 2 points during the final weekend to be eligible to become league champions.
In our U8A Divisions, teams must earn at least 11 volunteer points. There are no playoffs in U8A but all teams that earn at least 11 volunteer points will participate in the "Courtesy Cup", a tournament that will take place during the last 2 weeks of the season.
GENERAL RULES
- A volunteer can allocate a maximum of 12 points to a single team in U10 and a maximum of 15 points to a team in U12 - U14 during the season. In U8, the maximum is 6 points to a single team. A minimum of 2 volunteers must allocate points to a team in order for that team to accumulate enough points to qualify for the Final Playoff Round (or in the case of U8, to participate in the U8 reward activities).
- Volunteer Points belong to the Volunteer who earns them. Allocation decisions by a Volunteer cannot be appealed.
- Game Assignment points may be allocated to any team.
- Youth Referees have the same rights and privileges as Adult referees under this program. The minimum age to certify as a Referee is 12 years old.
- Teams are responsible for recruiting their own volunteers.
These guidelines may be revised as necessary by the AYSO Region 76 Commissioner or Referee Administrator.
Questions or comments concerning this program should be addressed to the Region 76 Referee Administrator.
