2026 Season Information

In order to officiate MIAA, WCAC, and NCLL games in the 2026 season, SLOA members must pass the NCAA Rules Test with a score of 80% or better by March 16, 2026. Please note that you cannot save your progress while completing the test. If you have already taken the NCAA test as a NILOA official, you do not need to take the test again.

Officials must also complete the virtual 2026 MPSSAA Rules Clinic Course before the start of the spring season and import their Course Certificate directly into DragonFly.

The NFHS Federation Rules Exam will open later in February. In order to officiate NFHS games in the 2026 season, SLOA members must log into their account on DragonFly and complete the NFHS Spring Rules Exam by March 16, 2026. Each official will have five attempts to achieve a passing score of 75% or better. A score of 85% or better is required to be eligible for a post-season state semi-final and championship assignments.
