Re: Using gameofficials
If you wish to referee games at Griffin Tyus Park you must join and use a web-based assigning system called gameofficials. Below you will find details telling you how to add yourself as a referee to the GameOfficials system and how to use the system. I suggest you print these directions for future reference.
Log on to www.gameofficials.net In the bottom left corner you will see a button “New Official?”. Click on this and then read the information on the sign up page. If you are a new user, continue on by using the following codes:
Group/Assignor number: 33
Access Code: griffinsoccer
Next you will be asked to create a username and temporary password along with a contact email address. The system then sends an email to the email address you gave, which reads:

DONALD DUCK,
Welcome to GameOfficials.net!
Your new Official account was
created successfully. The username listed below is now active.
USERNAME: dduck
PASSWORD: QUACK
Note: The password is NOT
case-sensitive. If you have trouble logging in, please contact your
assignor or association for further assistance.
Please log in and complete the
following steps as soon as possible:
1) Select a new password ('Change Identity' link from the main menu, then 'Click to Change Your Password')
2) Enter your contact information ('My Info' link from the main menu)
3) Complete your Preferences and Availability as directed by your assignor
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Choose something simple, such
as your name, for the username and a password you won’t forget
between seasons. If you need to update your personal info do so by
clicking on “my info”. If you forget your password or
username you’ll need to contact me, the assignor. DO NOT
simply create a second account as this will result in duplicate
accounts in the system.
The first time you log into
gameofficials the system will prompt you to enter your personal
information. Please include a cell phone number and home number
so I can reach you at short notice, as games are often changed or
cancelled at short notice. There is no need to enter your SS
number. If you are a youth referee it might be worth adding
your parent’s email address as one of the additional email
addresses. Toward the bottom of this page you will also
see, if you click on Mobile Notification Information, that it is
possible to receive game assignments through your cell phone.
Once you are in the system assigning games works like this.
If you do not have easy access to an email account and the internet then ask a parent about using their email account. If you have questions, or problems getting yourself into the system, please give me a call at 770 467 9619 or by cell phone: 404 394 4435.
Best regards,
Ian Flitcroft
Griffin Referee Assignor
