Promotion scheme
- Thread starter callmemyref
- Start date
Is that correct?
At one of our promotion evenings, we were shown a presentation with a few slides and 2 of them were the criteria for 7-6 and 6-5.
Only 6-5 had 5 lines required on it.

Graeme is correct - mandatory at 6 to 5. The FA rules are clear - interesting that some CFA's seem to be ignoring them, e. g. number of Under-18 games which count.

In order to get Level 5, yes, that’s correct, but if you want to progress below Level 5, you need 10 lines.
Not sure what it's like in your area, but here in the North West you can run lines as a L7/L6 at Step 6 & Step 5 (North West Counties First & Premier Divisions)
Requirements at that level means all teams must have floodlights and there will be plenty of midweek night fixtures - try and use those to get your lines so you're not losing as many Saturdays where you can be in the middle.

I can find 10 line games, but 30 games in half season are a lot, that’s what I’m trying to say.
Well yeah, but you must have known before you applied for the double jump that you're trying to cram a full promotion seasons in to half a season and made the choice to go for it.
That's what you signed up for. And that will have been made clear at the start of the process. It's two promotions in one season and you need to meet the qualifying criteria for both by set times during the process
if you're really really keen then it's still doable. depending on where you are you'd be able to do 3 qualifying games a weekend and at least 1 possibly up to 3 more midweek.
there's womens football (generally sunday afternoons), county youth leagues (U18 and U23) midweek in addition to the normal league midweek games that will occur as we move closer to summer
if you want it, i bet the games you need are available, but at the end of the day, if you dont get it there's very little harm done. you'll just do it next season instead and have a year extra experience under your belt before you go 5-4 which cant be a bad thing

Its 70%, which unles my maths have failed me is 14 games.

Your maths is correct, but the requirement is now 80%.

I've just done a random google search and found the info from four disparate counties. Two say 70% and two say 80% ... so I guess we're both right

if i was you i'd get the games in first then look to ease up...you never know, april might be a very wet month so get as many in as you can now
Why on Earth would we expect consistency!?I've just done a random google search and found the info from four disparate counties. Two say 70% and two say 80% ... so I guess we're both right
It is definitely 70%, the below is taken directly from the "Regulations for the Control and Registration of Referees" section of the FA Handbook.
Levels 5 and 6

I think the confusion arises because this excerpt quotes "club marks"
