IMPORTANT: The GamePlan creation step is only for members that don’t yet have an account. If you completed the exam on GamePlan last year, you already have an account and should use their login details to access the exam.
For officials that are not yet on Game Plan, you are responsible for registering for their own account. There is personal information that these people need to complete when registering for an account and hence we ask that they create their own accounts. Once an official creates a profile their account is set to the correct NOCP Level based on the membership lists that each province sends Canada Basketball.
Thank you to everyone for your commitment to the game of basketball in Canada, as well as your dedication to learning the FIBA Rules and official’s development.
