55 STEPS

1. Welcome to Part 3 of the 4-part series on Referee Ratings. In this tutorial, we review how to set ratings for individual match roles within Schedules of a Competition.

Minimum ratings can differ from the base ratings. Higher ratings may help ensure qualified officials self-assign to these matches.
