Officials who have not set up an account with Dragonfly must do so in order to take the NFHS Exam. This simple setup process takes about two minutes and provides the NFHS and MPSSAA all the necessary information for the collection of results. Please see the instructions to set up an account with DragonFly here, https://www.dragonflymax.com/s/MPSSAA-Contest-Officials.pdf

In order to work interscholastic contests, including regional playoff contests, and earn certification, each official will have a maximum of five attempts to achieve a passing score of 75 percent (38 correct out of 50). An 85 percent (43 out of 50) minimum score is required for a post-season state tournament assignment.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact Ken Kazmarek, Coordinator of Officials at 410-767-0375 or call the MPSSAA office directly at 410-767-0555.
