Easier to follow up:• topping up HBA Court Box• referee performance• player behavioural issues• unbalanced floats• referee registrations &

WWC• team sheets not

completed correctly• complaints from teams• venue issues• late or absent referees

Training

• Train app. 25 supervisors as opposed to 41 previously

• Training to occur during grading games of each season

(Summer – October, Winter – May)

Training may include:

• Competition management

• People management skills

• Assessing referees

• Level 1 First Aid

Referee Support

When supervisors are off the court, supervisors will be expected to:

• be actively overseeing every match

• supporting the development of the referees

• ensure the safe operation of the venue

• actively deal with any spectator abuse

• make any necessary edits to the roster

• collect any match payments

This allows referees to only worry about refereeing.

Accountability

The following will need to be managed at various times from a legal standpoint:

• Extreme Heat Policy (including hourly temperature recordings)

• Tribunal Report Forms

• Distribute first aid equipment and log injury

• Venue maintenance problems

Shift Administration

This will give supervisors more time to manage:

• Referee rules interpretations

• Team sheet collection

• Referee payments

• Balancing the float

• Editing the shift roster

• Completing the supervisor log

• Distributing first aid equipment and logging injuries

• Contact late/absent referees

What changes?

The change in this structure from the old system is:

• reduction of the number of supervisors

• an application to give every interested party an opportunity

• a selection process to show transparency and fairness

• supervisors are paid more to be off the court

• supervisor responsibilities are clearly outlined
