Our contract with the leagues and schools we serve calls
for our Association to officiate one preseason varsity
scrimmage (and any attached non-varsity scrimmages)
free of charge.
You will be assigned to
officiate two (2) scrimmages on your available dates;
it’s an obligation of membership in this Association; you
won’t be paid for this service as we are not paid.
In addition to the
TWO (2) scrimmage required of
all members of
the Association, the Evaluation Committee also sponsors
“Training and Evaluation Scrimmages.” The purpose
of these scrimmages is to certify officials for three
person mechanics, evaluate non-Varsity officials in a
game-like setting, and provide constructive feedback to
officials who take the floor, get a look at some new
people, and allow officials to get some floor time before
their first games.
Every East Bay Basketball Official Association (EBBOA)
member MUST attend at least two (2) mandatory
assign training scrimmage session based on your
availability.
This is usually during the months of November and December
of pre-season basketball scrimmages.
If a member DOES NOT ATTEND, and does not have
their absence(s) approved, the member who missed their
assign training scrimmage will be FINE A FEE OF $70.00.
When the assignor has finalized the training scrimmages,
every official will receive and email with the date, time
and location of their training scrimmage.
They will also have the name of the lead
instructor.
You must stay and attend the entire training session.
Remember all who do not attend their assign
training, will be fined a fee.
On a future EBBOA meeting, Listed on separate sheets will
be the training/evaluation scrimmages for this season. The
Board of Directors has determined that
all non-Varsity
officials must attend at least one of these scrimmages
so that we can indicate to Marcella Dobbs, our assigning
secretary, the approximate level of your officiating
ability. If you do not attend at least one of these
scrimmages, your assignments will be severely reduced. In
addition, movement to the Varsity level will be
impossible. The Board of Directors has also determined
that no official will be assigned to a
three-person crew
without demonstrating “floor
positioning knowledge” in a game-like setting. Even if
you were assigned to three-person games last season, you
must certify again.
Remember that these scrimmages
DO NOT replace
the two required
scrimmages that you will be assigned.
Please follow the oral instructions that will be given on
how to sign up for scrimmages. There is no point in having
25 officials at one scrimmage and two officials at
another.
We will add other scrimmages as needed.
Four JV tournaments will also be used this season for
evaluation purposes. Marcella Dobbs will be given
assignment instructions for those tournaments.
