PROCEDURES FOR ACCYSL REFEREES

VERY IMPORTANT Please read carefully ! It is your responsibility to know the regulations and procedures ! Watch for updates as the season progresses.

REMINDER #1 Before each game, check in the players and make sure the number on their jersey is the same as the number on the game card roster.

REMINDER #2 If you send off someone be sure to get names and phone numbers of the assistant referees. Your send off report should be factual and clearly written.

REMINDER #3 LOTG and 2019-2020 Updates may be found at Laws Of The Game

GAME ASSIGNMENTS

(1) You can only sign up online for games within 18 days of game time and no later than 12 hours before game time.

(2) No online cancellations with 60 hours of game time.

(3) You can only sign up online and in advance as CR for at most 3 games on a given day. But, for example, if you are an AR at the field and there is no CR at game time, you may do the CR assignment. Another example is where nobody is assigned online to the game, and you happen to be there. Then you may be the CR. Remember to file your 72 hour report as explained at Referee Pay.

VERY IMPORTANT As a paid referee you are expected to be professional in all respects. Last minute cancellations are very bad for everyone. In particular, youth referees are expected to discuss assignments with their parents and coaches in order to plan ahead and meet commitments !
