| 2008 Fall Season | |||||||||||||
| Stuff to keep in mind: | |||||||||||||
| Games: for Center / Referee 1 / Referee 2 duties, you can select games that have players 2 years younger than your age. | |||||||||||||
| Reason: State law. (Why they made this a state law is anyone's guess - they can't fix school funding, but have time for this?) | |||||||||||||
| Senior (U19) games: There are no U19 games this season, due to a lack of interest. | |||||||||||||
| All Games U10 and up: 3 Referee system (if possible) | |||||||||||||
| Reason: I attended the USSF assignor clinic a few years ago, and they impressed upon me the need to have the diagonal system. | |||||||||||||
| I reserve the right to drop to 2 officials (which USSF does not like, but in my opinion, is better than using club | |||||||||||||
| linesmen.) | |||||||||||||
| Requests and Assignments | |||||||||||||
| You can ask for any game you want, provided the state age requirements are met. I reserve the right to place officials where they will best meet | |||||||||||||
| the needs of MSA, based on their level of skills and abilities on the field. | |||||||||||||
| Short Official Protocol: | |||||||||||||
| Wings Drops to 2 Man, senior official moves up to vacancy on higher field. | |||||||||||||
| Striker Female (Field 6) drops to 2 man, senior official moves up to vacancy on higher field. | |||||||||||||
| Striker Male (Field 5) drops to 2 man, senior official moves up to vacancy on higher field. | |||||||||||||
| (We usually don't need this, but it never hurts to write it down) | |||||||||||||
| Officials CASCADE - e.g. if we need a U19 AR, a U14 AR gets bumped up, and a U12 gets bumped up to U14, and a U10 team goes to 2-Ref. | |||||||||||||
| Exceptions as needed: example, an adult is AR on Wings game, it is okay for them to go straight up to U19, and break the Wings game to 2-Ref. | |||||||||||||
| (Think Law 18, Common Sense) | |||||||||||||
