Columbia-Windham Soccer Alliance, Columbus Day Tournament

Referee Registration

Interested Soccer Referees:

We are approaching the time again for our Columbia Windham Columbus Day Soccer Tournament. Our tournament this year will be on Saturday, October 11, Sunday, October 12, and Monday, October 13, 2008. Last year we hosted 250 teams and scheduled
500-plus games. This year we are anticipating as many teams. As last year, we will be having competition in different levels of play. We will be hosting premier levels, competition levels, and recreation levels. Our Premier division will play games on three days, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. All other levels of play will play only on Sunday and Monday. Due to our size and the different levels of competition, our tournament has been a good experience for the experienced referees who would like to participate at a high level of play. In addition, the tournament offers entry-level experience for inexperienced and experienced referees.

Our fee schedule is as follows:

Premier Level	Middle	Line
Under 13 & 14	$33	$18
Competition and Recreation Levels
Under 13&14 ***	$27	$16
Under 11&12 ***	$27	$16
Under 9&10 (7V7)	$18	NA
Wildcard games *
U-13 & U-14	$5	$3
U-11 & U-12	$5	$3
Penalty Shootout **
	$8	$5
Travel Payment ( for anyone traveling more than 25 miles one way ) - $15 per day.
*The duration of wild card games is 10 minutes and all other games are 50 minute games
** (We will not be paying extra for a penalty shootout that is part of a final or semifinal. We will be paying for a penalty shootout when the shootout is to determine the divisional standings which in turn determines which team advances to the semifinals. This also would occur when two or more teams are tied at the end of the Wild Card Playoff.)
*** We will be having short-sided games at the U-12 recreation level and U-14 recreation level. (All other competition in these age groups will be 11v11.) There will be one referee in the middle, and we will pay at the rate indicated above.

This year we are arranging for you to be able to register on-line. Please see the application form below and follow the instructions. If you do not wish to register online, just complete the enclosed card and return it as quickly as possible. Please indicate whether you will be available in the morning or afternoon. Register as soon as possible, but no later than 9/1/10. We will be asking some referees to float (spend the day filling on various fields as needed) and will be paying them $50 per day in addition to payment for games that they cover. Indicate on your card if you are interested. Please note that you must have a current referee certification to referee in our tournament.

If you are interested in refereeing in our tournament, please register quickly. If you complete the card, please give your e-mail address as we may wish to communicate with you by e-mail. (Due to the expected high number of referees interested in working in our tournament, we do not guarantee that we will be able to use you or that you will be assigned the time slot that you request.) We will be sending your schedules by regular mail. If you have any questions, please call Leo Desautels at (860) 228-4741 after 5:00 PM.

Sincerely,

Leo Desautels

Referee Coordinator
