FORFEITS:
In the case where a team does not show up for a game, and the game is forfeited, the opposing team is not required to pay the referees in attendance.
Non-Attendance of Match Officials
Where there is no referee in attendance at a match, both teams must agree on one person to referee the entire match, also called a ‘Club Referee’.
Once a person is appointed as a substitute referee he/she has all the rights, powers and responsibilities of an official referee, (including the right to issue yellow cards (cautions) and red cards (send-off) to players and officials of the teams involved in the match) and shall be accorded the same respect by the teams as would an official referee.
A person appointed as a substitute referee under this rule shall complete the match sheet details in Dribl, including any necessary incident report in the same manner as would an official referee.
Where there is no assistant referee in attendance at a match, each Club should supply a person to act as an assistant referee for the entire match.
When any two teams are unable to decide on a suitable substitute referee they shall…
- Not proceed to play the match without a referee
- Complete the match sheet details in Dribl, recording on the sheet that the match was not played due to there being no suitable person to referee.
FC Fixtures Committee shall meet within 14 calendar days following when the match should have been played and, based on the information before it, decide the outcome of the match.
The match may be rescheduled or another outcome determined for that match at the sole discretion of Football Canterbury’s Fixtures Committee. The Clubs whose teams are involved will have no right of appeal against the Fixtures Committee decision in the matter.
Please refer to Football Canterbury’s “Rules of Association” for a complete outline
A Junior Referee is permitted to run the line in a senior game, as an Assistant Referee, ONLY!
There are no exceptions to this rule.
If a junior referee is not appointed to referee a senior game, THEY WILL NOT REFEREE THE GAME!
Coaches, Managers and Club Officials are NOT to pressure any Junior Referee or try to talk them into officiating a senior game.
This is NOT NEGOTIABLE with any Coach, Manager or Official of any team or club.
A referee, whether they are official or volunteer, is classed as an official referee while in the capacity of refereeing a match. Referees have the right to “Send off”, “Caution” and “Call off” players/games at any time, whilst they are in charge of a game
