OFFICIATING CODE OF ETHICS

An Official must devote time, thought and study to the rules of the game and the mechanics necessary to carry out these rules so that one may render effective and credible service in a fair and unbiased manner
An Official must work with fellow officials and the state association in a spirit of harmony and cooperation in spite of differences of opinion that may arise during debate of points or rules at issue
An Official must resist every temptation and outside pressure to use one's position as an official to benefit oneself. Under all circumstances, officials must avoid promoting the special interest of any person or group of persons other than the athletes we serve
An Official must constantly uphold the honor and dignity of the avocation in all personal conduct and relations with the student-athletes, coaches, athletic directors, school administrators, colleagues, and the public, to be a worthy example to the athletes under one's jurisdiction
An Official will be prepared both physically and mentally, dress accordingly to expectations and maintain a proper appearance that is befitting the importance of the game
An Official shall avoid the use of tobacco and related products at the contest site
An Official must remember and recognize that it is important to honor contracts regardless of possible inconvenience or financial loss
Every member of the officiating profession carries a responsibility to act in a manner becoming a professional person. The conduct of any official influences the attitude of the public toward the profession in general as well as toward the official in particular.
Sports officials bear great responsibility for engendering public confidence in sports. They are critical to the health of athletic competitions. Officials ensure games are played fairly, by the rules, within the spirit of the rules and in a safe manner. Officiating takes a great deal of preparation, continuing education and commitment of time.

Please don't miss any matches. It is your responsibility and committment as a professional.

The schedule will be here in due time. If you really have to see it, call the area director and he will give you a link to where it is now hidden on the internet. Consultation fees apply. Schedule is tentative through September. Some of you will be very busy the second half of the season and not as busy to start. It is only tentative and I am sure there will be changes. Don't complain, please. Things are changing daily. This is for your information and possible planning, but don't get your feelings hurt if it changes. There are more matches so don't feel left out, just keep checking back.

I know your time is important, but so is mine!!!!!
