All appointments for Referees must be made via the CS or SAS appointers. Please do not embarrass a referee by approaching them directly.
There are two levels of booking a referee for rugby union within the Army and Combined Services, basically it depends on the level of the game:
- Within the UK and other military areas, Service Area Secretaries (SAS) appoint to games at Level 9 and below,
- Combined Service Senior Appointments appoint to Level 9 and above.
- Team Administrators are to advise SAS if their match is for U18s, in order for a CRB approved referee to be appointed. SAS can obtain a list of ARURS CRB approved referees for the ARURS Secretary.
- All Team Administrators are to be aware that is their responsibility to contact the nominated referee at least 72 hours prior to the game, to confirm availability, pitch location, kick-off time, playing strips of both teams and any relevant competition regulations.

Listed below are the nominated contacts for booking a referee:
