Tournament Summary

Following the completion of any tournament, the tournament Referee-in-Chief will be responsible for creating a brief summary of the tournament, and submit this to the ALRA Referee-in-Chief. In this summary, discuss, in very broad terms, how the weekend went. Specifically, did everything run smoothly? Were there any problems with particular games, teams, team representatives or tournament executive members? This information will be very helpful when approving proposed tournaments in upcoming seasons.

Referee-in-Chief Referee Evaluations

The Referee-in-Chief is to carry out evaluations of officials during the course of the tournament. However, this is part of the Referee-in-Chief's duties for the tournament, and cannot be entered for payment. The only evaluations that can be entered for payment are those which occur during regular league games during the course of the season.
