  7. Decisions of the Referee And remember… The decisions of the referee regarding facts connected with play are final. The referee may only change a decision upon realizing that it is incorrect, provided that play has not restarted or terminated.
  8. When to Penalize One of your duties is to “Enforce” the Laws of the game. Does this mean you call everything??? Advice to Referees (PART C. SERIOUS FOUL PLAY AND VIOLENT CONDUCT and annual FIFA Circulars) state: The Laws of the Game are intended to ensure games be played with as little interference as possible. Therefore, it is the duty of the referees to penalize only significant breaches of the Law. Constant whistling for trifling or doubtful breaches produces bad feeling and loss of temper for the players and spoils the pleasure of the game. Fouls that don’t impact the ability of a player to play the ball should not be called.
  9. Critical Techniques of Officiating Know the Laws Positioning - Be near the play but not in the play Fitness Body language Indicate your decision - Do not explain it Use common sense
  10. Referee Positioning
  11. General Positioning AR 2 The Referee runs diagonal Referee area of responsibility Each AR covers ¼ of the field sees what’s ahead and behind the Referee judge most offside calls AR 1
  12. Fitness and Diagonal A referee who is not fit can not properly cover the field of play. Standard Diagonal
  13. Fitness and Diagonal EXAMPLE - UNFIT / LAZY Stayed in center of field Narrow corridor of patrol “Slave” to diagonal?
  14. Fitness and Diagonal FIT / EXPERIENCED / ACTIVE Close to assistant referee in some cases Close to play but not interfering Anticipates play and action
  15. Critical Techniques of Officiating Fitness: A referee who is not fit cannot properly cover the field of play Must get to drop zone -- near center of action Must be within 10 - 20 yards of significant challenges
  16. Critical Techniques of Officiating Body Language Do not let negative body language show Fatigue or Tiredness Exasperation Frustration Fear Disdain Arrogance
  17. Critical Techniques of Officiating Eye contact – keep your head up!!! At every stoppage - make eye contact with assistants to ensure that you know if they have information for you. After foul - make eye contact with player who fouled as you point direction.
  18. Critical Techniques of Officiating Move toward fouls when: Challenge was very hard/physical A player remains on the ground Opponents are not departing the area You must move in quickly to control the situation and prevent/stop/deal with misconduct
  19. Critical Techniques of Officiating Watch play - not the ball Ball gone - start move to next position, watch for late contact Ball coming - move to position, watch for foul prior to ball arriving Set plays - vary position, use voice to manage players, signal when ready Signal your decision (use standard signals – later)
  20. How to Sell your Calls Accurate decisions will sell your calls! Know the Laws (facts) Where are free kicks taken Is it Direct or Indirect Is the ball in play or out When are signals required Exercise judgment (opinion) Was that a foul? Is that misconduct? Is that player offside? Signal your Decision Indecision can be fatal!
  21. Pregame The referee and assistants should arrive early (at least 30 minutes) to complete the following tasks: Inspection of field markings, nets, goalposts, safety issues Conduct a crew pre-game meeting Check players’ equipment Check game balls You should never be the cause of a delayed start.
  22. Uniforms and Equipment Shirt, Black Shorts, Socks, Shoes

  25. Review – When may the referee.. Reverse a decision? Prior to restart Apply “Advantage”? For a foul or misconduct (Law 12) Reverse it, if no advantage occurs? Within 2-3 seconds Stop, suspend or abandon a match? Outside interference Weather Infringements of the Law
  26. Review A referee must: Know the Laws of the Game Be firm (Not overbearing) Signal calls (Do not explain them) Be near to play (If nothing else) If in doubt - don’t interfere Use common sense (Law 18)
