The Manual Work Record has changed. The CHIEF/REFEREE/INSTRUCTOR slot now has a pull down list of certified Referees and Instructors. Type the first letter of the last name of the Referee and scroll down to the correct name and click on it. (Exceptions: Referee is not listed or you are the only official and not a referee, for a; DII, DIII, UIL, Adult League, etc., select “Unknown” and put an event description in the comment box at the bottom.) Be sure to Complete: TYPE (Prof, Natl, Sect, ITA, Other, School) POSITION (Chair, Line, Chief, Roving, Dep Ref, Ref/Sup). You will now have to fill in the days or chair count with a number worked or zero.

If you have taken your tests and attended school, be sure to enter your test for each test taken. EVENT NANE will be where you attended school. INSTRUCTOR will be on the pull-down list. Select the SCHOOL TYPE. Click on pass (If you didn’t pass, contact Bruce Samply to retake the test). It appears that they took out the slot for the test score.

I would encourage you to enter you work information as you complete it. Don’t wait until October and you have to have it in to re-certify. This is just a suggestion. I keep a spreadsheet of my work record so I have my own record (just in case UNCULA blows up) and I can record when I get paid for each event.

Hope this helps. If you have any questions, contact Terry Gatzki tmgatzki@yahoo.com
