Applied for promotion during the 2016/17 season. Checked with the RDO's assistant/deputy with regards to criteria. The old criteria was I had to referee 20 games (minimum of 14 must be adult matches) before applying. He told me that they have scrapped that. Due to this information, I didn't push to get this amount of games in. Well the RDO sends me an email asking me to submit my fixtures between 29th Feb 2015 and 1st March 2016 to review them.
I am now really confused and am quite worried that I will miss out on going for promotion. I spoke to my referee mentor who said that he is under the impression that this is suggested rather than set in stone. He also said that because I have done numerous lines on the Essex & Suffolk Border League Premier Division, they might accept me on anyway. I will phone my RDO tomorrow morning to check everything. Fingers crossed!!!
Wish me luck!
