Referee Assignment
- We do not guarantee referees for any game.
- Only assign a referee if you see them and ready to be assigned.
- Referees will let Operations know if they are on break.
- If referees are available, prioritize referee assginment to playoff games over round robin games.
- When a bracket is close to starting playoff, “save” the referees for playoff games.
Enter Scores
- Follow stepsbelow to enter scores.
- When the scores are entered and saved, this triggers new score sheets to be printed (if applicable)
  - New scoreesheets are printed only if there are teams (not courts) available to be assigned.
  - Please notify Rosina or Amy if scoresheets are not printed for a bracket for some time.
- Put a line cross the scoresheet after scores are entered, then put scoresheet in the bin for completed scoresheets.
