EPRRS is finally catching up with USAR's requirements for HS and younger games to have TECHNICAL ZONES.

Please read the following link, where technical zones (and the case for them) are explained. This is agreed to by RugbyPA, and will be easy to enforce if we all do it.

Currently, technical zones are not required at any other levels, but clubs and colleges have been informed

The EPRRS is more than willing to send a representative to a session for your Club to go over the Law, Management Guidelines, Interpretations, etc. We could also send a body to do a scrimmage. If your club is interested, please reach out to the Assignment Secretaries to see if a Referee is available.

IMPORTANT: Referee Background Checks

Attention: All referees must undergo background check as part of CIPP Registration

USA Rugby is expanding their background checks to include referees, with that requirement, the bulk registration EPRRS performed in years past is no longer available. Each referee MUST register individually. We will provide a credit for CIPP registration in your annual dues payments.
