-
The official who actually shows the red card(s) is responsible for filling out and or filing the report
-
Work with your partner after the game to make sure all information is correct before submitting a report
-
In order for any card to count, including to players, coaches, and/or other adults listed on the roster, you must show the card
-
When describing a red card for serious foul play... DO NOT USE THE WORDS "reckless" and/or "careless"
-
A red card for serious foul play... YOU MUST USE "endangers the safety of the opponent" and/or "excessive force"
-
Serious Foul Play CANNOT occur if the ball is out play... if the ball is out of play or not being played, that is VIOLENT CONDUCT
-
Language that is punished with a red card MUST BE QUOTED EXACTLY in the report as it was said/heard
-
DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS from a school, coach, liaison, parent, player, etc., after you have issued a red card or an incident has occurred - if you are contacted, by anyone above, do not respond and call Steve, Victor, and/or Robert immediately!
