Upgrade/Maintenance


ALL officials wishing to move up in rank must apply for their upgrade online by filling out the “Request for Upgrade” form, linked below.

The Officials Development Committee will review all upgrade requests. The requesting official will be notified by email of the outcome of their request as soon as possible.

The official will not be considered “upgraded” until they receive confirmation from the Officials Development Committee or the Operations Director.
