SOUTH VANCOUVER ISLAND CLASSICS’
GUIDELINES FOR REFEREES (as of Jan.1st 2009) 1. Within 24 hours the referee must send a game report (complete on line at www.svicsa.com/referees’_report.htm) to the Referee Scheduler – Peter Songhurst psong@shaw.ca These reports will consist of:- i) Team name and scores ii) A team behaviour (physical and verbal conduct) assessment for each team on a 5 point scale; 5 being the highest iii) Team manager’s assessment of opponent’s sportsmanship on a 5 point scale iv) The names of players given a 10 minute penalty. v) Disciplinary reports must be filled out for each yellow and red card by the referee Criteria to consider when making your assessment:
Yellow/red card reports (complete on line at www.svicsa.com/red_yellow_report.htm)should go to the Chair of the Disciplinary Committee Peter Songhurst psong@shaw.ca 2. Referees will receive full payment for games defaulted when sufficient notice is not given to the referees' scheduler. Payment will be deducted from the team's performance bond and must be reimbursed. 3. Referees will be paid the same fee as determined by the Vancouver Island Soccer Association for Senior level. This must be paid in cash to the referee before the start of the game. (for the 2006/07 season, the fee is $50 per game) 4. Referees assigned to officiate games in Sooke or north of the Malahat may apply to the Association Treasurer for a traveling allowance of $10 per return journey. 5. Teams are to report to the referees' scheduler if a referee does not report for an assigned game. 6. Teams must provide a net, corner flags and proper uniforms (team jerseys). Teams failing to provide the above will be assessed a yellow card. 7. Referees can send a player off the field for a 10 minute "cool down period" when the situation warrants. This player may be replaced by a substitute. Situations warranting a 10 min penalty: - a tendency towards rough play - persistent verbal harassment of opponents and/or fellow team members. - dissent toward referee 8. No slide tackles are allowed ("no sliding when an opponent is in the vicinity"). Players deliberately slide tackling will be assessed either a yellow card plus a ten minute penalty, or, a red card, depending on the severity of the infringement as determined by the referee. If a player is assessed a yellow card plus a ten minute penalty a substitute may take his place on the field. The slide tackle rule also applies to goalkeepers if they slide to tackle an opponent. However, a goalkeeper is allowed to slide to save the ball as long as he plays the ball with his hands. Team managers have been asked to tell their players not to slide to make contact with the ball if there is a possibility they could also make contact with another player. 9. PRE-GAME PROCEDURE After the coin toss teams will line up and shake hands. Adjustments to team composition should be made at this time 10. END OF GAME PROCEDURE i) observe the end of game handshakes. ii) a red or yellow card can be issued for abusive behaviour after the final whistle 11. Substitution is unlimited. Substitution must be made during a stoppage in play and at a signal from the referee. 12. All other F.I.F.A. rules apply except we are using a modified offside rule.
