Hi ,
Rather than attempt to paraphrase the many points covered, we are passing on the following memo, as written, from Arturo A. Angeles our newly appointed State Director of Instruction (SDI). We wish Arturo tremendous success and are looking forward to working with him!
Emeritus Referees please note the section below clarifying your registration and compliance issues.
This memo is clear and self explanatory. That said, we'll be happy to answer, or get answers to, any questions you might have.
There are links at the bottom to .pdf versions of the memo in both English and Spanish.
All the best,
Tom

EMERITUS REFEREE
ACTIVE EMERITUS REFEREE - An emeritus referee is considered to be an active emeritus referee if he/she has been refereeing consistently during the year. An active emeritus referee has to have the in-service monthly training required to be able to re-certify for the upcoming year.
INACTIVE EMERITUS REFEREE - An emeritus referee that has not been active during the season DOES NOT have to take the in-service training and the written test. An emeritus referee that has refereed two or three times because of emergencies or association needs IS NOT considered an active emeritus referee.
EMERITUS REFEREES THAN WANT TO GO BACK TO GRADE 8 - An active or inactive emeritus referee that wants to downgrade to Grade 8 has to take the Grade 8 exam and would be considered an active referee and must meet the in-service training required for Grade 8 referees.
ACTIVE EMERITUS REFEREES THAT WANT TO KEEP THEIR CURRENT EMERITUS GRADE - An emeritus referee that wants to keep his current emeritus status must take the state referee test - this includes national referee emeritus that meet the active requirement status.
THERE WILL BE AN EXCEPTION MADE FOR THIS YEAR FOR THE ACTIVE EMERITUS REFEEE THAT DID NOT MEET THE MINIMUM IN-SERVICE TRAINIG HOURS - Please encourage your active emeritus referee to take the minimum 5-hours in-service training or in 2012 they will be downgraded to Grade 8 and must take the Grade 8 exam to be able to register for the next year.
ACTIVE REFEREES THAT HAVE NOT TAKEN THE IN-SERVICE TRAINING - Active referees that have not taken the in-service training will be allowed to take the written test to register for the upcoming year but will be down-graded to the next referee grade level. For example a Grade 7 that did not take the in-service training required will be registered as Grade 8 for the upcoming year and must meet Grade 8 requirements for next registration.
UPGRADING - If a referee who has downgraded wants to return to their original grade, they must meet the re-certification requirements for that grade.
