PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Beginning November 1, 2010, section 1204 of the 2010-11 UIL Constitution and Contest Rules (C&CR), as approved by the UIL Legislative Council, will be in effect. According to section 1204 (b) of the 2010-11 C&CR:

Section 1204: OFFICIALS

(b) registration of Sports Officials for uil contests. UIL member schools shall use officials registered with the UIL in all varsity contests. If non-UIL registered officials are to be used for any varsity contests, the involved schools must receive prior approval from the UIL Director of Athletics. Exceptions:

(1) In individual sports (cross country, golf, swimming and diving, team tennis, tennis, track and field and wrestling) schools may select and use non-UIL registered referees for contests.

(2) Unless mutually decided otherwise UIL member schools shall use UIL registered officials for non-varsity games.

(3) Officials assigned to the playoffs shall be UIL-registered officials.

(4) Approved local officials organizations/chapters must have on file with UIL a copy of their constitutions, rules and by-laws that outline their disciplinary procedures for dealing with officials who fail to follow the rules and regulations of the UIL and/or the approved local officials organization/chapter.

Registration for officials wishing to officiate with UIL contests will be available immediately. The FREE online registration process consists of two steps. The first step is the creation of an official’s profile associating each official with an approved chapter for directory information. This information will be used to communicate needed sports related information and assign playoff games/matches if necessary. The second step will include completion of the Officials Compliance Program (OCP) as outlined in section 1204 (o) of the C&CR, which is available on the UIL website.

The FREE online registration process can be accessed online through the UIL web site www.uiltexas.org or by using the link below:

For the purposes of receiving rule books, general liability insurance, directors and officers insurance, testing, training and education, chapters may determine their affiliation with an organization that provides those services (i.e., UIL, TASO, etc.).

Additionally, as of November 1, 2010 the fee schedule approved by the Legislative Council for the 2010-11 school year will also be in effect. The fee schedule and other information concerning the payment of officials is available on the UIL web site (www.uiltexas.org) under the Sports Officials tab.
