POINTS

It’s your first day of training to become a new Football Official. You’re going to be hit with a lot of information in a very short period of time. Thrown into all of this information, you will be told about Divisions, Points, Fees, and numerous other items that will only leave you with more questions. With this one page, hopefully most of your questions pertaining to those items will be answered.
Points ​In short, points are what you will need to advance in division rankings. You, as a new official are currently ranked as a division 5 official. This mean that you have no points. You will have to work hard and continue to learn as much as you can right from the get go.

The following are the point requirements to move up in Division.

Div 1 – 660

Div 2 – 360

Div 3 – 180

Div 4 – 060

Div 5 – 000

​ So now you have an understanding of how many points are required to get to the next level. But how do you get those points? For starters, there are three different categories for points; educational, game, and state meeting attendance. The following is a break down of those points.

Educational Points

Regional Clinics = 3 Points Each

On Field Clinics = 5 Points Each

District Meeting = 2 Points Each

Test Score: <70 = 0 Points | 70-78 = 4 Points | 80-88 = 6 Points | 90-100 = 8 Points

(There is NO maximum for Educational Points)

​Game Points

Scrimmages = 1 Point Each

Chains/Clock = 1/2 Point Each

Sub Varsity Games = 1/2 Point Each

Varsity/College Games = 2 Points Each

​   State Meeting Attendance

State Meeting Attendance = 6 Points Each

1 Hour Breakout Session = 1 Point

Varsity Grading Scale

HUDL = 60 pts
Acceptable Participation Level >= 70% of Games
Total Score / # Games Graded
Calculation: 60pts // 100 = X/ Average Score

Spring Scrimmages = 3.5 pts
Each Crew Member (7) counts as 0.5pt

Fall Scrimmages = 7 pts
Each Crew Member worth (7) counts as 1pt

ZBW Sportsmanship Card = 1.5 pts
Submitted after every game

SV Participation = 28 pts
Each Crew Member counts as 4 pts
Each crew Member MUST Cover 5 DATES to get full credit

These are the ways in which you will earn points that will move you up in Divisions. As you can see it is going to take a lot of hard work and dedication to get to the top. But with the right goals and mindset, you will get there in what will seem like no time at all. Your Points sheet is turned into the Chapters Executive Secretary at the end of the season. The number of points that you gets depends solely on you and your effort. As always, the Houston Chapter is working hard to stay ahead of the technological curve. With that being said, all points submissions must be done online. You are only allowed one submission, so make sure to check your math and points. Once you have completed your first season, points for that year can be submitted online via the points sheet submission page HERE.

  • Game Fees

Game Fees: You’ve been trained, you have your gear, and it’s time for your first game. How much and when will you get paid for this game? Some schools use Arbiter Pay. You will need to set up an account at arbitersports.com. When you set up your account, make sure you set up a direct transfer to avoid any surcharges. Checks are typically mailed out from the schools 2-3 weeks after the date of the game. Pay will vary depending on how many games you have that day, where they are, and what you’re doing. Basically the pay scale goes like this:

For Varsity assignments, pay is based on attendance at the game with minimum pay of $105 to $135.

For Sub-varsity (including Junior High), the pay is $65 – $75, plus a travel fee, depending on whether it is a UIL (public schools) or TAPPS (private schools) game, the length of the game, and where you are working. For public schools, go to uiltexas.org, Athletics, Officials Fees Schedule for more details. For private schools, go to tapps.biz, Resources, Officials

Box and Chain assignments are paid $80 per game with no travel fee added.

Clock assignments are paid $80 per game with no travel fee added.
