General assigning contact
If you do not know who the assignor(s) are in your area, or are unsure where to get games, then use the online form to connect with the IRC
Have this information ready:
- State League pin number = 4208
- Game number (from your schedule)
- Team names
- Official final score
Iowa Soccer is working with the Iowa Referee Committee (IRC) to provide the best environment to train, develop, and maintain not only our players but also our referees. If you’d like to provide them with feedback please take a minute after your match to complete the form below. This form can also be used to document missing referee assignments in ISL matches.
State League matches should be played as scheduled as there are a number of unique and challenging variables that have an impact on creating a schedule. These include the top three principles that must be balanced in order to create a match-up and then schedule a time/date/field: team availability, team blocks, field availability.
- Rescheduling is NOT a feature of the State League, it is an EXCEPTION
- Sometimes unavoidable circumstances arise and it is in that spirit that a reschedule is an option
- If an exception is needed
- You must submit form below no later than one week prior to the originally-scheduled match
