IMPORTANT NEWS  

       Football season is just around the corner. Hopefully all of you are aware that this year's Football Rules meeting can be viewed online. It will be available to view from Aug. 4 thru Sept 7. Once you log on to your personal officials center, you can go to The Football rules Meeting and click on. The online presentation is timed so you do have to actually go through entire the presentation. You must be the one logged onto your officials center to receive credit. So if a crew elects to view it together only the one logged into their officials center will get the credit. There are milestones along the way on the presentation so you must pay attention. This is the wave of the future and the IHSA stated that if this fall goes well then all rules meetings will be done in this manner.

The rules test will also be done on line this season. Part 2 as well. I know for sure that the Part 2 test will be scrambled and timed. That means not everyone will be taking the same test in the same order and you may not even get the same test questions.

There are still a few places to go actually attend a Rules Interpretation meeting, those location are listed on the IHSA web site. 
We will have our meeting dates listed as soon as VP Ken Grawe sets those dates.
as we move forward into this new age of rules meetings and test taking it is going to be more important than ever to attend the QCOA meetings.

 

Your QCOA IHSA Top 15 Football Officials List has to be turned in by September 6th. Please ONLY vote for IHSA licensed football officials who are current QCOA members. Turn those lists into Dave Mullen.
