Setting Travel Limits
• Travel limits restrict an official from showing as
being available for games which are beyond the
distance the referee is willing to travel.
• The program calculates the amount of time to
reach a game based on travel at 50 mph.
• You can set different distances you are willing to
travel for each day of the week and from where
you will be leaving.
• The distance from the referee’s departure
site and the game site is automatically
calculated by the program from the
zipcodes of both sites.
• If you need to change any of your
departure day zipcodes you can do so at
any time and as soon as they are changed
they effect future assignments.
This is the travel limits screen. To change a travel
limit click on the edit pencil.
When one of the edit pencils is clicked you will see this
screen. Enter the changed zip code or the changed mileage
and click on the green save check to complete the change
Summary
• Effective Fall 2005 all USSF Assignors in North
Carolina will be required to assign USSF games
in NC through this site.
• NCSRA is encouraging all playing associations
to put all of their games into this system.
• All USSF referees will be in this system and for
those in the college referee association and
those whose HS assignors use Arbiter, your
schedules will show all of your games at once.
Tutorial Available from NCSRA
• In order to operate smoothly NCSRA needs all
referees to become proficient in using Arbiter.
• We have put this tutorial on the NCSRA web
page for download and review at your
convenience.
• Assignors will also have an extensive tutorial
available.
• As will league administrators, coaches, players,
and parents.
Summary
• Through the statewide consistent use of the
USSF North Carolina arbiter system NCSRA
hopes to greatly increase communication
amongst referees, assignors, and the referee
administration.
• NCSRA’s ultimate goals are more and better
referee assignments
• More and better referee development and
promotion.
• Better Referee service to the Game
