Is point 9 meant to be Step 2 ?
The administration of County Cup games leaves something to be desired. The Appointment Officers have no visibility of availability
I had a County game postponed. The first I heard of the re-arranged game was an email trigger by a ref change last night 48 hours before the re-arranged game. The Home Club have not confirmed the County game either.
Just means that the County Appt. Officer thinks I've missed/ignored his appointment and/or the Step 5/6 Appt. Officer would be irritated if I needed to come off his game 36 hours before. So I can't win despite not being to blame whatsoever
In the end, I've come off the County game as that's where the process is broken. Not to worry, I just find County Appointments a bit of a nuisance and the clubs have demoted those games to the lowest priority of theirs

Gloucestershire FA use the Yesref app to appoint to County Cup fixtures. Refs were also paid through the app

15 is interesting as Durham always see 15/16 as equal.
The GFA only attempted this for a short stint and then realised very few affiliated refs were on the app and now the county cup appointments are made by league appointment officer nominations - certainly for Senior Amateur and below
I thought it worked pretty well last year. All my County Cup games were on there, including Senior Challenge Trophy etc. But yes I imagine it would've been a challenge getting alot of refs to use it. You also had to have proof of DBS etc and that's an added pain. I moved away in the summer so I didn't realise that this had been discontinued.
It can be really tricky. I’m in south wilts, which might as well be another county since the teams down here are few and they’re 1 hour plus from any others.
There’s a local team at home in a county cup this Saturday in a semi final and still doesn’t have officials, I have left that day free and picked up a Sunday league game so I’m at least getting a game in if/when I’m not asked to do it. (I did the previous round with the same team so assume that probably means I won’t do this game)

Wiltshire does seem yo be rather off grid football wise. I did enjoy my games at Royal Wooton Basset last year though.
Huge pain in the backside and all the cup finals are miles away from me
I do a lot of the Hampshire league these days too
