The ECAC now requires new officials to apply for ECAC membership and pay an application fee of $75. New chapter members should fill out this form to officiate ECAC assigned games. This requirement does not apply to veteran officials who have previously officiated ECAC assigned games.
The latest information from ECAC indicates their assignments for the upcoming soccer season will be released on their web site no later than July 27, 2007.
The new ECAC Official assigning web page is now live. The ECAC recommends you log on and immediately change your user name and password. Your default user name is your social security number and the default password is the last 4 digits of your social security number.
Officials registered with ECAC received the following information from Steve Rossetti at ECAC regarding their pending change of assigning software:
ATTENTION: NEW OFFICIALS. If you were a new ECAC official after July 1, 2006, please notify Steve Rossetti at the ECAC with your email address, SS#, home address, phone numbers, so they can all be entered into the new system under your name.
ATTENTION: INACTIVE OFFICIALS. If you were an inactive official during the 2005-2006 school year, you need to notify Steve Rossetti so that he can activate you and update your personal data in the system.
New officials may use this form to get this information to Steve so you can receive ECAC assignments this season.
Please download the 2007 ECAC availability sheet (Adobe Acrobat Reader required) and return it to Alan Wharton via fax or US Mail as soon as possible. Cross off the dates you are not available and identify any special requirements you may have.
ECAC is changing their web-based assigning software from AssignByWeb back to Lokitech. Lokitech provided ECAC with assigning software for a couple of years prior to 2006. The new ECAC assigning system is currently planned to go live on July 1. You can expect to receive an email from ECAC soon after July 1 with instructions on how to log in to the new system.
