# As Event Director - How to Create Referee Positions
## This article will instruct the event director on how to set and create referee positions for an event.
**Step 1:**
- On the left side menu options, click on **Referees**.
**Step 2:**
- From that drop-down, scroll down and click on "**Referee Positions**".
**Step 3:**
- For each position that you will offer, you will click on **"New Position"**.
- You will now name the Position and give it an index.
- Most organizations will list the first position as the "**center**" and then the second and third positions as "**AR1**" and "**AR2**".
***NOTE** - Positions do not need to be set up specifically for every age division. You create your positions once and then they will be available for all your events.*
You will use these positions in chronological order which is why most events will use position one as the "center". This way if you only have one position in an age group it will grab that first spot of being "center".
