As we discussed in Officials Registration intro, there are a variety of roles that register through the Officials Registration wizard.


A question that arises is why is some able to see the wizard when perhaps they are not eligible or cannot see the wizard when they are eligible.  A common source of the problem is that an individual might have multiple accounts and the one they are using is not the account that is eligible.  Unfortunately, the Shop like many other shopping carts does little to avoid duplicate accounts.


The table below indicates how the menu pick Officials=>register is enabled for various roles.

Most are officials and gain access by being place on team of officials.


Most of the remaining roles are positions help in the organization for a year or more.  Two exceptions are VIP and Contractor.  These tend to be just related to Global Finals.  You can add either a VIP or a Contractor using Misc Attendees pane of from Administration=>manage officials.
