I did a game and didn’t receive a check, what happened?
Most often it means you have not completed something, here are the most common problems that hold
up payment.
1. GAME REPORTS
You have not completed a game report, for some games you need to do TWO reports, one on the Sportzing site and one to the OASA Office (including the team rosters), you will not be paid if you
have not completed ALL reporting requirements. Also, you may be fined for failure to turn in your game report(s) within the 48 hours mandated by USSF – that fine may reduce or eliminate
the fee you earned doing the game.
2. What is a game roster? Do I need to collect them?
A game roster is a list of team’s players for each game. It should reflect the players attending that particular game, and should include:
• Each player’s name (make sure it matches the players OASA card)
• OASA card number
• OASA card expiration date
• Player’s shirt number
If you submit a game report without rosters, it is the same as not submitting a game report.
3. IRS FORM W-9
You have not filed a W-9 form with the League, or Tournament – you must fill out and provide to each paying entity a form W-9 with your Taxpayer Identity Number (for most referees this
is your Social Security Number). You can find Form W-9 here: .

4. ADDRESS and Contact Information
The address on your Sportszing Dashboard is the one used for payroll, if it is not complete and correct your check may not reach you. Double check it, remember to change your address on
Sportzing if you move, also make sure your phone number is correct and current – this gives us an additional way to contact you in case of a problem, also I sometimes call people at the
last minute with assignments and if I don’t have a correct number for you, you miss out on the assignment.
