An Official must be added to the official list before he or she can be assigned to a game. Although the official coordinator is generally responsible for this, the league administrator can also add officials to the list.

To see your list of officials, click on Officials on your home page. If there are a lot of officials in your league, they will be displayed for just one letter - the first letter of their last name. You may select which letter to view at the top of the list. You may also choose to display all of the officials, but this may take a while to display

Included on the list, for each official, is the date of their last assignment, if known. Rolling the mouse over this date creates a popup box with some details about that assignment.
NOTE: for performance reasons, this popup is not availble if your league has a lot of officials and you are viewing the complete list. However, the date is still available.

When you first use YourSportsLeague.com, you will need to add all of your officials to the list. After that you only need to maintain the list by adding new officials or removing people who are no longer officials. If you have an existing list of officials they can be imported into YourSportsLeague.com. The League Administrator can do this by clicking on Import Data from his or her home page. For information on the specifications for importing data, see the Import Data page..

To add an official click on "Official List" from your User Home Page. Scroll down beneath the list and enter the first initial and last name of the official. See Adding Users for more information on this. Click on "Add This Official". New officials are automatically sent their user name and password.
Note on the add form there is a separate place to add a dummy official. For more information on dummy officials, see the Dummy Official page.

Once an official has been added to the list, he or she can log in and find games to official, view current assignments, and self-assign or request assignments, assuming the league allows one of those modes of operation.

After the official is added, you can enter information specific to the official. Click on the Edit Info button next to the official's name in the official list. You can also add Official Strength information (League Comfort Level) about the official (See Official Strength). If you enter a birth date, an official cannot self-assign or request games unless the players are at least 2 years younger (e.g., official must be 14 years old for U-12).
