The following Scheduling Guidlines have been written and approved by the KCOA Board.


§
Work proactively with customers/partners to receive game/schedule needs as far in advance as possible with 30 days in advance as being the desired minimum.


§  Review/recommend potential sequencing changes with/to the customer/partner to help facilitate advantageous game pairings (to avoid single game/fees).

§  Download/import game schedules into Arbiter within 48 hours of receipt.

§  To the degree possible, publish game assignments via Arbiter “at minimum” 30 days in advance of the actual game date.  In no particular order:

  ü  Ideal/goal is to offer every active official at least one game/month

  ü  Ideal/goal is to schedule games in sets of two versus three to offer more ice to more officials.

  ü  Youth games should strive to have at least one (1) “under 18” official as part of the crew.

  ü  Early morning pairings should be targeted to officials living in close proximity to the rink.

  ü  For 3 man crews, rotate the “bands” from one official to the next (within a pairing) where rankings allow.

  ü  For 2 man crews, do NOT pair 2 entry level officials on the same ice (600 or below).

  ü  When upcoming tournaments are identified, scheduler will work with the partner schedulers to assure the necessary/appropriate talent pool is available.

  ü  Create/maintain a manual log of “issues/requests” for pairings made by Board members or our external customers and adhere to where possible/feasible.

§  Produce a game count summary on a monthly basis.  In no particular order:

  ü  Capture and record all declined/turned-back games.

  ü  Pull a month-end Arbiter game count report and transfer all “actual” game counts to the tracking database.

  ü  Summary report to be completed and issued to the Secretary by the 7th of the following month (unless other arrangements have been made).
