5-4 Promotion Season

[LondonRef]

The FA will select from those nominated. Having a nomination does not automatically mean you will get promoted.

Hi Asm

Yes I am aware of that I just was wondering the reasoning why they would not promote a nominated candidate?

It's generally down to numbers. Each County FA can nominate as many referees as have met the criteria but the FA may not require that number in a particular geographical area depending on numbers promoted up, numbers demoted due to performance and those retiring/coming off through injury etc.

It will vary year on year.

Also each CFA has to rank the candidates in order, that can be purely based on observations marks or could include club marks, administration, attitude, etc. If you get ranked at number 6 and the FA only need 5 from your CFA then unfortunately you will be out of luck.

Fair enough. Well just have to wait and see now then. Thank you.
