BEFORE THE GAME > Collect a team-roster from each manager about 10-15 minutes before the scheduled game time. > Check the game-date for accuracy, must be for the Sunday's game. > No other altered roster or handwritten names should be accepted, only the jersey numbers are hand-written. > Check the players and their passes, every player must have a league player pass. > EXCEPTION, if a manager has a printed email/letter from Kamran Ghanbari or Mario Vela to let a player play (meaning paperwork in process). This happens very seldom but if it does, make sure you write a note on their roster for the league to assure its accuracy. > Each player must have a team uniform with the assigned number clearly showing and the proper soccer equipment, shin guards, cleats, no jewelry, no caps or bandanas. > Home teams must change jerseys if the colors of both teams are similar, make sure keepers have different colors than both teams and the referee. > As soon as teams have 7 suited players, the game must start, otherwise there is a 15 minutes grace period from the scheduled game time. A team not ready to start at the 15 min. mark forfeits the game. > Bring a copy of these instructions to the games. DURING THE GAME > Take 3-5 seconds to make the correct call, specially an offside. > Stay 20-25 yards from the play, so calls can be made effectively. > If players volunteer to AR, they can only make out of bounds calls. > Verbally warn any player that uses loud profanity, and on their second offense, award him a Yellow card. > Do NOT have to explain your calls to the players or managers, let the game flow without unnecessary delays. > Any player who is bleeding must leave the field and only come back when the bleeding has stopped and if there is a wound, it has been covered. > We follow FIFA laws, with the exception of allowing multiple substitutions. > Substitutions, allowed at each team's corner kick or throw in; and for both teams, at kick-offs and goal kicks. > EXCEPTIONS, any injured player, or if a manager wants to substitute a player receiving a Yellow card, they can sub that player only. > The game length is 90 minutes starting when the ball is moved at kick-off (play time is 45 min halves and give 5-10 min. resting period). Remember that time MUST be added, when necessary, for injured players and time-wasting techniques from players. > Players receiving Red cards should leave the field immediately. > When giving a Red card, make sure you keep your notes clear to copy them onto the SENT-OFF report and keep the player's pass.
> Return the player passes ONLY to the captain and/or manager of each team. Do not forget the passes of players arriving late (which is allowed), that you may have put in one of your pockets. > Mail the 2 rosters on Mondays to Kamran Ghanbari (His name & address are on each roster) or use the provided envelope. The league must receive them by Thursdays. > When issuing a Red card, you must send the player’s pass with a SENT-OFF report (download it from our WEB site), one SENT-OFF report for each Red card given. > Be very specific when writing on the rosters for issuing Yellow cards, and explain clearly the situation in the sent-off report when giving Red cards. > Save your personal notes of all games refereed. Sometimes the disciplinary committee will need to contact you when assigning penalties to players/managers. CUP GAMES ONLY > During cup games, if the game is tied at the end of regulation, two 15-min halves of overtime is played, the Golden Goal rule applies. > If the score is still tied when the overtime period ends, then go to 5 penalty kicks per team (only players playing at the end of the OT can kick them). It there is still a tie, then one PK per team until there is a winner.
