information pertaining to the game(s) they are assigned to work, including a campus map
and parking pass (if necessary). In addition, it is the Athletic Event/Game Manager’s
duty to ensure all the proper paperwork is taken care of prior to the game to ensure the
officials are paid in a timely manner.
On game-day, it is the Athletic Event/Game Manager’s responsibility to greet the
officials as they enter the arena and escort them to their locker room. In addition, the
game officials should be granted the following standards (if deemed necessary): special
parking near the arena, private and secure dressing and shower facilities located to
minimize any contact with players and coaches, a copy of the game film following the
game, at least six towels and soap to shower with, a minimum of six iced drinks, postgame
snack and a security escort on and off the court as well as to their cars after the

PARKING
The Athletic Event/Game Manager, in conjunction with Parking Services, is responsible

for all parking matters at UNCW rests with the Campus Police. The Athletic
Event/Game Manager, Parking Services and Campus Police make all arrangements for
home game parking prior to an event, based upon the particular needs and requirements
of that particular event. Arrangements should include consideration of personnel needs,
donor parking, visiting team parking and television truck parking.
SECURITY
According to University policy, UNCW’s Chief of Police is responsible for public safety

the Athletic Event/Game Manager and the Chief of Police should meet prior to the sport

authority in determining the number of officers present on game-day should come from
the Athletic Event/Game Manager.
In addition to campus police, event staff may also be required to work home athletic
contests to ensure adequate security at a particular event. When necessary, it is the
responsibility of the Athletic Event/Game Manager to work with the event staff agency to
