anyone in the know when they’ll release the promotions this month?
Seasonal 5-4

- Start date
Perfect, thanks mate!
And when is the L3 Assessment day date?
27th May / 28th may for L4s
And a side note - that's when they open the fitness test booking too. (After the assment dates)
What is meant by "assessment day"? Is that the day The FA meet up and decide whom to take? Or is that a date L4 candidates should keep free for any reason?
Does this mean you're going again?Assessment day emails are starting to go out
I think I am a bit behind the times. Am I right in thinking that whether it be mid-season or end of season, there are no longer any automatic promotions based upon merit tables etc? In other words, are all promotions from 4-3, 3-2 & 2-1 just based upon those invited to assessment days?
There are still automatic promotions.
2-1 doesn't have assessment day this season. Nobody was promoted mid season and I'm led to believe that it will just be a selection of those performing highest.
4-3 and 3-2 still have automatic promotion spaces, but less than there would normally be, because they then invite more people for assessment day to select the remaining spots. So say, for example, if they were looking to promote 6 referees from 3-2, they may promote 2 automatically, then invite 10 to assessment day for the final 4 spots.
I'm not an advocate of these Assessment Days
Composite Merit Table positions are based on 4 or more (usually) observations, countless club marks, seven or eight LOTG tests and the learning modules and engagement. It's like CORE favourite picks, just adds layers of opacity. WRT the former, some refs are being overlooked in favour of others with way inferior merit positions. It's not right

I spose it’s a bit like the promotion play offs throughout the pyramid.

Sounds like putting a system in place to justify decisions that would have been made even if the system was not put in place. I'm sure there is a name for that but I cant think of it.
I can’t talk for any other assessment day apart from a 2-1 I am aware of whereby at the season the Referee was a L2 (first season) and by Christmas he was a L1. This came about by decent marks from club & observers and flying through the fitness test and laws of the game as well as perhaps other things at the assessment day. So whilst it can be argued that there is likely to have been more above him in marks, it’s the other things that have seen him promoted.
