Sad news for our Referee Community
	It is with great personal and professional sorrow that we must report that one of our own, Alex Plum, has passed away. He became ill during a game at the Tyee Cup Tournament and left the field in an ambulance. Unfortunately, there was no improvement in his condition over the week in the hospital and he died peacefully at around 3am on 8/24/24. There are very few of us that did not know and work with Alex at some point and his death affects us all. His obituary was published today, 9/27 and you can read it here:
Don't have ARs? There's a bonus in it!
	Referees, did you know that if you are the center and you don't have a full crew you get a bonus? If you have only 1 AR, you get an additional 1/2 of the AR fee for the match. If you have NO ARs, you get a bonus equal to a full AR fee for centering! All of our clubs are on board for this bonus structure.
GETTING PAID
	PCSRA pays officials via direct deposit twice a month - within two days of the 1st and 15th of each month. Please read this attached short document about the two most important things you need to know/do in order to get paid promptly and regularly.
