SAN DIEGO COUNTY FOOTBALL OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION - THE WEEKLY BULL – November 17, 2021
 
Make Up Meeting in 2021 – As I do the final report to the board in March of everyone’s attendance and test scores, I will contact anyone who shows up as needing more meetings or to take a test.  In doing that, I will work with individuals who are coming up “just short” and provide another opportunity to meet the requirements.  Sorry for any inconvenience and if you don’t hear from me between now and February, consider your attendance and testing completed.
 
7-Man Mechanics Meeting – Tonight is the 7-Man Mechanics Workshop for all officials who are working a 7-man semifinal and/or final.  Only on-field officials need to attend, not the chain crew or the timers.  Print out the 7-Man Mechanics Manual from out website and bring it with you.  We will all be meeting at Mira Mesa High School at 7:00 pm in the school Library located just inside the quad off the front parking lot…very near the Theatre.  Tonight's agenda:
