By the end of the work day, all exam scores for the 2008-09 Soccer officials will have been entered into our system.  Several action items to note:

• Any official who scores below 65 is immediately ineligible.
• Any ineligible official that works a NCHSAA game will be banned indefinitely as a sanctioned official.  That period of time will be not-less-than one (1) calendar year.
• Many officials did not log their State ID with “last name + last 4 digits of SSN” as instructed.  This causes test scores to be incorrectly assigned as we enter them.
• Any official who does not have a recorded test score is immediately ineligible to officiate.  They may request in writing to have a hard copy test mailed to them.  Once we receive it in our office we will manually grade the test and post a score.  Any official who requires the hard copy test in this circumstance will have ten (10) points deducted from their scored mark.
• BOOKING AGENTS—check your roster at the end of today to check for officials who did not score a passing grade and/or have not taken the exam.  Make certain you suspend all assignments for these persons until they become compliant/eligible.

An official that does not have a test score needs to request the emergency exam if they have not done so, by Friday, August 29th at 4pm. If you have already requested the exam to be sent to you, email Tra Waters a confirmation so that he can give you a temporary test score in lieu of a missing test score. This is to ensure that you will have a passing test score in the system so that the booking agents will know those officials who did not take the exam. Those officials will become ineligible after the request deadline has passed. Any emails that are received after 4pm tomorrow will NOT be accepted for exam requests. Please email Tra at waters@email.unc.edu to coordinate your emergency exam request and so that each official is taken care of in regards to the testing parameters.

I will be checking the roster tonight and will reassign all games necessary.  If you request an exam to be mailed to you, let me know your grade when it has been posted.
