Seasonal Game Requirement

Fully certified Head Referees of all tiers must officiate or proctor at least 7 games per quadball season (July 1 - June 30).

If, by June 30, a fully certified Head Referee has not finished their game requirements, their field test certification expiration date will automatically change to the end of that calendar year (December 31).

To remain fully certified, the Head Referee must get a new Field Test Certification with an updated tier designation.

This updated tier can be the same as their old tier.

Exceptions to this policy can be considered on a case-by-case basis
