officiating

All officials will this week receive an availability form for Sept/Oct and the Handbook details document, both these documents will also be published on the website (in the officiating section). Please return the availability form (to me) as a matter of urgency by the 31st July. Any forms after this date will be put to the bottom of the pile when I start to do the appointments. Sorry it is early this year but I am away at the World Student Games from 7th to 25th August and I will be doing the first appointments when I am away.

BBL Referees – as well as sending your availability form to me please ensure you send a copy to Bob English.

 

Also I would like to congratulate to Steve Ellis and Haydn Jones who were successful at their clinic in Latvia and are now International Officials, I hope you all join me in wishing them good luck in their careers as FIBA Officials.

Regards,

Roger Harrison
