USING REFR
East Grand Forks utilizes Refr Sports for scheduling and paying umpires. Please see the information below on how to create an account on Refr, set up payment information, and link to an assigner (Listed as "East Grand Forks Youth").
You must have an account created on Refr before you can be paid for any games worked. Please make sure to complete the final step (Pairing with an Assignor) as well. We cannot assign you games on Refr (or pay you) until you request to join our referee pool by pairing with an assignor. When searching for an assignor, search by city or search for "East Grand Forks Youth."
If you run into any issues, please contact John, the Recreation Coordinator at [email protected]
