If your association uses video, do you have someone (an observer/assigner) there running the camera? Our association has talked about using video to help the development of our officials and we're looking for an easy, cost-effective way to get started before we jump in head first. I look forward to hearing what you do. Thanks!
Our association doesn't directly film games. In the past, officials were welcome to request games form teams/ADs/coaches. There were a few abuses of this communication and we're implementing a new system that avoids this off-the-court contact between coaches and officials.


The system will work like this...
  1. The official will go to the game on thier schedule on RefTown
  2. The will click the "request a video" button
  3. The video request will be approved by an administrator causing a generic request to be sent to the school without any names attached
  4. The school will send the video to the association where it will get rerouted to the official.
There may be a small fee invoved that is sent to the school to cover expenses (media, postage, etc.)
