The CB / CBOC Return to Officiating Guidelines is a companion document that is intended to address the safe return of and requirements for referees participation in basketball games. The document will be monitored and updated as things progress towards “Phase 5 – Return to Competition”.

The document contains information to guide referees in preparing to officiate, preparing at home to officiate, arrival at the facility, the game and after the game. The webinar will review these matters, as well as an opportunity to answer your questions.
