advancement.
© 2011 U.S. Soccer
https://ussoccer.com
Code of Ethics for Assignor
I will maintain the utmost respect for referees and
other officials of the game and I will conduct myself
honorably at all times.
I will make assignments based on what is good for
the game and what is good for the referee.
As a member of the United States Soccer Federation,
my actions will reflect credit upon that organization
© 2011 U.S. Soccer
https://ussoccer.com
Code of Ethics for Assignor
I will contribute to the continuous development of
referees in the National Referee Development Program.
I will conduct myself ethically and professionally in
the assignment process.
I will respect the rights and dignity of all the referees
and I will not criticize them unless it is in private,
constructive, and for their benefit.
© 2011 U.S. Soccer
https://ussoccer.com
Code of Ethics for Assignor
I will offer equal opportunity to all qualified referees,
and I will not discriminate against or take undue
advantage of any individual or group on the basis of
race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
I will cooperate fully in the timely resolution of any
grievance hearing or complaint.
I consider it a privilege to be part of the United States
Soccer Federation and my actions will reflect credit upon
that organization or its affiliates.
© 2011 U.S. Soccer
https://ussoccer.com
Code of Ethics for Assignor
I will safeguard the confidentiality of the USSF
registered referee list.
I will give priority to USSF affiliated games when
assigning games.
(new added 2006)
The use of USSF affiliated game assignments shall not be
used to persuade USSF registered referees to accept game
assignments for non-members of U.S. Soccer.

Risks for Assignors
Assignors MUST NOT assign any referee that they can’t
personally verify current registration information on.
YOU CAN’T TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT !!!
If a assignors use unregistered referees;
The league, assignor and referee are not
protected under the USSF liability insurance
The assignor can be suspended pending a
hearing by mrdp if a grievance is filed

As an assignor, you have to
register as a referee
to complete a background check.
You also have to
select an event
and
select an assignor
before
the system will let you even see the background check tab.
You should only need to run the background check once
every 18 months.
© 2011 U.S. Soccer
https://ussoccer.com
According to the Missouri State
Referee Committee beginning 2010
 Missouri Assignors must be registered and clear a MYSA
background check electronically each 18 months prior
to re-registration approval.
 Missouri Assignors must be registered electronically with
the USSF each year.
 Missouri Assignors must attend a Missouri annual assignor
recertification clinic once every 2 years minimum.
 Until Missouri Assignors meet these criteria…
 they are not registered with USSF
 they cannot assign any games, league or tournament
 their access to current referee information in the USSF system is
automatically blocked.

USSF on-line access for Assignors
You will use your a USSF login id number preceded by a “R” and
password (normally it is your last name unless you’ve changed it).
• Using that access will allow you to query the national database to get
the following results IF someone is currently registered:
Name
State Assn Registered Through
Year of Birth (not a complete date)
Zip Code
Email address (if they provided one)
Home Phone
• If the person you’re looking for year but not yet approved by the state,
you may get a message that says “The USSFID number is valid, but
the user “name” has not yet been Approved with USSF”.
• If the person is not yet registered or released for the current year, you
would get that same message instead of their info.
• If they’ve never registered at all, they simply won’t appear.

Re-Registration Process
 All Assignors that will interact in any way with affiliated
youth programs in Missouri MUST register annually with
MYSA using their gotsoccer electronic online process.
 Re-register on-line through US Soccer as well.
 Gotsoccer clears them (directors) with a background check
automatically if they did one as a referee. Not a separate
process.
Once they are cleared with gotsoccer, the SYRA/SRA goes
online to approve and released them in USSF.
Assignors can then see and use both systems.

https://ussoccer.com
2011 USSF/MYSA
Registration Process
 All Referees, Assignors, Instructors, Assessors and
Administrators that will interact in any way with affiliated
youth programs in Missouri MUST register annually with
MYSA using their new gotsoccer electronic online
process, (as well as on-line re-registration through US
Soccer).
 To do a background check, ALL must follow the same
procedure as a referee. i.e. register as a referee, select
an event, select a primary assignor.
All these records to reset annually to mirror USSF
registration year.

Referee Questions
Assignors are the first person that referees will
think of when they have a question. Even
even if they know that you are not
the person who can solve it, they assume
you’ll know who to talk to about it or where
they can find the information.
Referee requirements can change annually. Assignors
therefore MUST be aware of all the current requirements
for each USSF referee they assign.

2011 Assessment Process
 In order to get an assessment for upgrade, referees
must go to mrdp.org and fill out a “request for
assessment”, then snail mail it and the assessment fee
to the SDA.
 After verifying the eligibility, the SDA, or district
assessment coordinator, will then coordinate the
assignment of an assessor for the level of game
assessment needed.
 Annual assessments are paid for at the time of a
referee’s re-registration as grade 7, 6 and 5. DAC can
coordinate those assessments.
 Referees can’t choose their own assessor.
