Referee No Show

For U9–U14 Matches:

  • If the assigned referee does not show, the coaches or managers must mutually agree on a substitute referee.

  • This person does not need to be a certified referee (can be a coach, parent, or responsible adult).

  • If no agreement can be reached, a coin toss may be used to select the referee.

  • The agreed-upon individual must officiate the entire game.

    • Splitting halves between teams is strongly discouraged.

  • Matches played under these conditions are considered official.

  • Scheduled games may not be downgraded to friendlies.

  • After the match:

    • Winning team must report the score.

    • If tied, both teams must report the score.

  • If the teams fail to agree on a referee:

    • Both teams will be fined $50.00.

    • The match will be rescheduled, unless it is proven that one team refused to play.

For U15–U19 Matches:

  • Games may be officiated by a 1-, 2-, or 3-person crew.

  • If no referee is present, the game must be rescheduled according to the Game Change Policy.

  • No reschedule fee will be charged if the match is postponed due to a referee no-show.
