GREAT NEWS, WNYS Referee Association has decided to delay the $40 Late Registration Fee to tax day, 4/15/26. So if you have not started the recertification process, start it TODAY. Remember, you don't have to complete the courses by 4/15, you just need to log into OMS and pay the fees to lock your rate in. Again, simply log into OMS by 4/15/26 to begin the recertification process (the entire process is online and will take you no longer than 2 hours.) If anybody has any questions, please reach out to your local DRA at [email protected] or [email protected]
