Administrative Duties of Referee

[ChuckS]

Starting my 2nd year, and my first varsity game is this Friday (opening night). I am more concerned with all of the administrative duties I will have (since I have been designated the referee), than calling the actual game. Please don’t misunderstand, I am not saying I don’t ever need help with calling a game. If I do this for 30 more years I will still be learning! It’s just that at least I have called games before, but I have never had to check a scorebook, or run a captains meeting, interact with the site manager, or check the court for safety issues, etc….

In the IAABO officials manual, and also in the NFHS rules, there are a lot of things listed that I will be responsible for (such as “check and approve the score”). Any particular ones I should concentrate on, or emphasize? Any other administrative tips? Thanking you all again for all the wonderful things I have learned on this forum!
