Here is a link with instructions on setting up a New account and Registering for a course; Make sure you take note of the username and password you created in GameOfficials. It is imperative that you memorize this information as this will follow the referee through the Game Officials Assigning System. The reverse is also true - those officials already in the Game Officials Assigning System need to use their current user name and password to register for recertification courses or it creates HOURS of work for administration. Officials may pre-pay for courses with credit card, or pay by check or cash at the referee clinic. Once registered for a course the official will need to utilize basic computer skills, “load session tracker” to work through the modules prior to attending the class.
