Rules clinic schedule for Oct. 12

Just a few reminders as the chapter begins the 2022-2023 season:

• If you have not paid your state or local dues, please do so ASAP.
• For sate dues ($90), click here Arbiter Sports and click TXHSBOA Central Hub to pay your state dues.
• For local dues ($150), contact treasurer Michael Sanchez at  mds2041@yahoo.com.

The Rules Clinic will be at 6 p.m., WEDNESDAY, Oct. 12 at First Presbyterian Church Hall, 1340 Murchison.

• Connie from Officials Gear Outlet will be at the meeting for anyone who needs to purchase equipment for the coming season.

THSBOA Rules and Mechanics Tests are open.

•  An official who normally does not officiate any 3-Person assignments or will not be eligible for Postseason does not have to take the 3-Person Mechanics exam.  An official who primarily officiates 3-Person assignments is not required to take the 2-Person exam.  However, you should check with your local chapter to ensure local testing requirements are met.

• An official must pass the online exams with a minimum score of 70% in order to receive games assignments or game schedules.

• To be eligible to officiate Postseason Playoff Games, UIL/TAPPS assigned games, Regional and State Tournament, an official must score a minimum of 90% on the Rules Exam and 3-Person Mechanics Exam.

• These are the minimum requirements under THSBOA.   
• Once an official scores a 90% or above, they will not be able to retake the exam.

Season begins

• The Little 13 (County Schools) begins its season Oct. 19.
• In order to be assigned games, you must have paid your state and local dues and have completed all tests.

Have a great week – eager to see you all on Oct. 12!
