Welcome to

West Suburban Conference
Jay Lyons
, Assignment Chairman

New?   Want to become a basketball referee?

In order to receive WSC Boys' Basketball Assignments, 
you will need to be registered on our assigning site at

   ArbiterSports.com
If you are a new official, or not yet on the ARBITER, and wish to be added to the list of available officials, email Jay Lyons with your request, including the email address under which you wish to be registered. Include a resume if you like. If you already have an ARBITER account in another sport, you will need to use the SAME email address. Your request will also be forwarded to the other Chicagoland HS Basketball ARBITER assignors for their consideration so you won't have to contact each assignor individually.
 

Once you have been registered on the ARBITER, you will receive a Welcome Letter with instructions for logging on to the ARBITER site (you may want to bookmark it). Print this letter out and SAVE it, as you will want to follow the instructions exactly. Use your email address and password to log on, then accept the invitation from the basketball Assignors and ARBITER's T&C. Then, on the Main Page, be sure to CLICK THE "READY TO BE ASSIGNED" BOX. Next, change your password to something you'll easily remember and WRITE IT DOWN and post it on your computer. Finally go to the BLOCKS section and block any dates for which you are unable to work basketball. SAVE and you are ready to be assigned.

Payment for Games: 

Please note that not all schools pay within the same time frame. In the WSC, we have a wide range of payment procedures because our 14 schools are in many different school districts and each has their own procedure for approving money spent. Those procedures may range from immediate payment at the game site to waiting as long as 90 days for school board approval and for checks to be cut. If you are concerned about the timeliness of your payment, please ask an administrator at your game site what that school's procedure is. Be sure to fill out any needed paperwork while you are on site. Then contact the AD's office re payment ONLY after that promised time frame has elapsed. Please be patient. 

 

 

Quickbase Assignment Information

Note that many assignors are still using our Quickbase database for many of their high school assignments. All officials, all levels, need to note that open dates are longer accepted by email or on paper by mail or fax. 

All officials' open dates must be made available to the assignors via the current season's "Availability for Basketball Assignments," an on-line database at quickbase.com. Click here for instructions.  

Over 350 officials have registered so far. If you want to be considered for any assignments, you MUST register at Quickbase.com and then be sure to keep your record up-to-date.

Towels in the West Suburban Conference

Most WSC schools (and most other schools as well) no longer have a towel service. Please be sure to bring your own towel in your bag if you plan on showering at the school after your game. If a school is able to provide you with a towel, please be sure that it gets into the proper receptacle when you're finished with it, and please make a point of thanking the administrator for their efforts.
