Volunteer Point Policy
The purpose of the Volunteer Point Policy is to help ensure that AYSO Region 84 recruits, trains, certifies, and fields enough volunteer referees to officiate games played in our Region. Each 8U team is expected to achieve a minimum of 5 points per season and each team in divisions 9U and older is expected to achieve a minimum of 20 points per season. Failure by a team to achieve the point requirement may result in the team not being allowed to participate in post-season tournaments. A team's use of points from independent referees (no family member on a team) may result in a reduced ability to receive points from independent referees in future seasons.
Points awarded for the following (minimum 5 points required for 8U teams; minimum 20 points required for 9U and older teams): 

• Referee or Assistant Referee (AR) for matches 9U and above – 2 pts per game
• Referee for 8U matches - 1 pt per game
• Referee Meeting Attendance – 1 pt per referee meeting (2 pts max per team per meeting; 5 pts max per team per season)
• Intermediate Referee Badge Upgrade – 4 pts
• Advanced Badge Upgrade – 6 pts
• National Badge Upgrade – 10 pts
• Youth Referees may only earn points for their own team or a sibling's team
• Independent Referees (no family member on a team) are encouraged not to give points to more than one team
• Points earned from Youth and Independent Referees will be limited to 50% of total team points
