Referee Availability Preferences

Q: How do I, as a referee, or as an appointment board admin, enter availability/unavailability for referees?

Please ensure you are acting as the registered referee before adding in any travel distance limits and/or unavailability.
The Availability page will list all Appointment Boards a referee has been added to, plus list their season coach, stream and grading.
A referee must be added to an appointment board before they can add/edit their unavailability.

Referees are assumed to be available unless they submit an unavailable date and/or date range.

Note

Appointment Board Admins can add a referee's unavailability dates in the admin portal the same as an individual referee can add via the Rugby Portal.
Unavailable date needs to be entered at least two days in advance. Please contact your appointments officer if it is within 48 hours or less.
If unavailable for one role, but available for another role, enter separate unavailable dates.
When entering unavailable dates, you can type them straight in, or click the calendar icon to select from the calendar. The time can be adjusted using up/down keys.

Recurring unavailability is used when you have an unavailability that occurs at the same time every week (e.g. Saturday mornings from 7am-12pm), this removes the need of having to enter this multiple times.
