The assignment of referees for CJSA state sponsored competitions is the responsibility of the State Youth Referee Administrator (SYRA) with guidance from the State Referee Committee (SRC). The CJSA Board of Directors, or its designee, shall be responsible for specifying which games are “state sponsored competition ” prior to the beginning of each year. That specification will be made sufficiently in advance so that the SYRA, consistent with this policy, will have adequate time to ensure that referees are assigned to state games commensurate with the level of play at each of the state games competitions. The SYRA will advise the CJSA President about all activities associated with the assignment of referees for state games.
