Referee Age

When referees are under the age of 18, they are not allowed to request or self-assign to a game unless they are about 2 years older than the players. If you do not wish to have this restriction, then either do not enter the birthdate in the birthdate field for a referee or enter it in the Comments field. (This form is available by going to Referees > Edit Info next to the name of the referee.)

The table below shows the age required for some typical age groups.
