Does any one know what the delay is with applying for promotion for next season, no paper work has been released yet?
 
The Ref Stop
The promotion windows are based on the season so the one for 2022/23 will not open until the current season concludes, which officially is 31 May.

You would have to ask the FA that. There are seemingly massive changes planned for promotion next season but it is all embargoed and has left CFAs in complete limbo.
 
Notts FA are hosting a day to explain changes to promotion in mid-July, the email reads like applying for promotion won't open until after that...

I got the same email. Seems to say promotion will be quicker and easier?
 
Contact your local FA. We in Somerset have already had our promotion seminar and application window closed
 
According to Hants fa no information has been released yet.
I couldn’t tell you what’s been communicated to be honest, only what we’ve been told in Somerset. The promotion registration window closed beginning of May, with the seminar for candidates given in April time.

If your local FA haven’t been advised yet, I wouldn’t worry. It’ll come in the next month or so, around the time of the new referee registration window
 
Got the following as part of an end of season email from my CFA last week

“The new season will see all Level 7/6/5 Referees being re-categorised across the Country. Details will follow next month. This is nothing to be concerned about in our day to day officiating, but will benefit and expedite those wishing to make progress up the Refereeing Pyramid”
 
I am oddly going for two separate Promotions one on mens side and separately on woman’s pathway as my local FA offered slightly oddly by the equivalent gradings if I got both I will be higher on the female than male pathway anyone else had this not saying I will 100% get either of course.

That's going to be fairly common next season. Interestingly the changes to the men's pathway are not being implemented in the women's pathway, so you might be observed for one and 'coached' for the other on the same match by the same person.
 
Not really thought about going for promotion on women's pathway. I did about 5 games last season in Hampshire league.
 
Available for both men and women who wish to progress in the women’s game.
A clear link to the Women’s Pyramid of Football.
Allows progression for referees willing to solely dedicate themselves to the women’s game
as well as those wishing to follow a route in both the men’s and women’s game.
It shall allow progression through for referees irrespective of their geographic location.

Yeah I expressed interest on doing Promotion through Mens pathway and was offered the chance at both.
