• referee registrations & WWC
• team sheets not completed
correctly
• complaints from teams
• venue issues
• late or absent referees

4. Training
• Train app. 25 supervisors as opposed to 41 previously
• Training to occur during grading games of each season
(Summer – October, Winter – May)
Training may include:
• Competition management
• People management skills
• Assessing referees
• Level 1 First Aid

5. Referee Support
When supervisors are off the court, supervisors will be expected to:
• be actively overseeing every match
• supporting the development of the referees
• ensure the safe operation of the venue
• actively deal with any spectator abuse
• make any necessary edits to the roster
• collect any match payments
This allows referees to only worry about refereeing.

6. Accountability
The following will need to be managed at various times from a legal
standpoint:
• Extreme Heat Policy (including hourly temperature recordings)
• Tribunal Report Forms
• Distribute first aid equipment and log injury
• Venue maintenance problems

7. Shift Administration
This will give supervisors more time to manage:
• Referee rules interpretations
• Team sheet collection
• Referee payments
• Balancing the float
• Editing the shift roster
• Completing the supervisor log
• Distributing first aid equipment and logging injuries
• Contact late/absent referees

8. What changes?
The change in this structure from the old system is:
• reduction of the number of supervisors
• an application to give every interested party an opportunity
• a selection process to show transparency and fairness
• supervisors are paid more to be off the court
• supervisor responsibilities are clearly outlined
