Game Assignment
 

  • Currently, Sterling Soccer uses an online self-assignment system called SINC Sports (link to login is below). Upon request, a new referee is granted an ID and password, giving them access into the system. Referees are then free to click on the games they wish to work. Certain limits are placed upon self-assignments to make sure that referees select only those games for which they are approved. (To request your ID and password, contact SYSA's Referee Assignor & Coordinator at referee@sysa.net.

Reporting Scores
 

For U6 thru U10, we don’t request the referee keep score, so the primary reason for reporting the score is to confirm the referees worked the game.  The Center Referee or designated RefIT
should report the score as 0 to 0 UNLESS the scoring was totally lopsided. Then record 1 for the team that scored the most and 0 for the team that scored the least.
 
For U11 and above, we request the Center Referee record the actual game score AND report any yellow or red cards or parent/coach issues in the Report area of the game reporting screen.
 
In all cases, if an Assistant Referee was scheduled but did not show up, please note that as well in the Report area.
 
Please view the video below for the process of reporting the score in SINC Sports.
