Is there any chance we can set something up like the BC Soccer Association's online registration for referees, and pay by credit card? I know the credit card companies charge a transaction fee, but BCSA just adds the fee to the registration. I find it really convenient to pay by credit card to register as a referee, and I don't mind paying a couple dollars extra for the privilege.

We already have this. Go to the link on the main site and use the on line registration and there is an option for credit card payment.

the link is under online forms, but here it is as well

The online application for membership works well, but is currently set up for Provincial use only. Those wishing to pay their National fee as well as their Provincial fee need to contact the Secretary (by phone or email) to make the necessary arrangement.

It is best if National umpires register first - through the clinic OR second - on line with a message to the Secretary to increase the credit card charge to include the National fee OR third - email or phone the Secretary.

There are some National umpires who have not yet registered for 2010. They are encouraged to do so before they lose their standing.
