Items of Note:

PAYROLL NOTE: There have been so many calls and emails asking about pay it is easier to tell everyone this way.

HOW IT WORKS - Payroll is paid monthly - for everyone not just officials. The payroll is submitted to the payroll service (PayChex again starting this month) on the first work day of the month. The checks are returned to the office on the next day and are mailed out. Those that have direct deposit are sent a stub, everyone else gets a check. The checks/direct deposit are not payable until the 5th of the month. There is a two day window between submitting the payroll and the funding to cover them - that is why we make the payroll payable on the 5th of the month. If a tournament happens on the very last days of the month and the first day of the month is a Monday there is a good chance that the pay for that tournament will be held over until the next month due to the time it takes for the pay to be reported to the office/Peter and the turnaround of the payroll for officials coming from Peter. It takes too long to get the reports and add them to the payroll spreadsheet and input the payroll to include them on the payroll submitted because there is a time deadline on the first to submit the payroll. This rollover happened for the Jan 30 and Feb 27th tournaments.

NOTE: 2010 Rule Interpretation #1 - Regarding: Libero Serving, Completed Rally Interpretations, Net Contact & Penetration Rules, Sub Procedures & Time Out Requests was distributed by USAV on Feb 22. Please read over the interpretations before you work your next tournament.

1. Lead referee be sure to print out Lead Instructions and Official's Tournament Report and Pay Sheet and take it with you to the site. NOTE the Officials Tournament Report and Pay Sheet has been revised as of 2/10/10. Please print off new forms and use those as we are asking for more detailed information to plan for the future and to take care of specific issues.

2. Attention Lead Referees and Officials:
Several of the Clubs will be using "PINNIES" (colored vests) which may make it harder to see the player # on the jersey, but they will make it much easier to identify the libero on the court. These players will be identified by their # on the lineup sheet. When they enter the court via 'legal Libero exchange', they will be identified with the "L" just as if the number was visible. Please share this with all participants at the Coach's meeting!

3. Discuss the new Electronics Policy in the Coach's meeting. No electronics of any kind at the score table or on the person of any member of the officiating crew - including the coach. Please read over the Electronics Policy, Roster Requirement and Shared Reffing Requirement. to familarize yourself with these new items.

4. New rules changes for the 2010 season - net rules and sub rules are the most significant.

5. Rosters are required to be checked by the official at each match. The roster check can happen during the warm up period so as not to take any additional time. All teams have now been processed. Players and coaches that are still "In Process" on the roster AFTER March 1st are not eligible to participate until their USAV number has been issued.

6. For those formats that are shared reffing we are now requiring both teams to be at the Ref Crew Meeting before the first set.

7. There is NO pursuit rule in AZ tournaments - not for adults or juniors - even if there is room

ADOT is working on the roads - everywhere. For Road Closure or restriction information check this website: www.az511.com The directions we give to our sites do not include any road restriction, construction or closure information. Please check this each weekend before you head out to the site.
