ECAC’s policy for canceled games is to reassign the affected officials with another game. If, at the end of the season, there are ECAC assigned games which had been cancelled and not filled with other ECAC games, there could be a credit carry forward to the following season for the fees associated with those games. At the end of the season, each official who had a significant number of games canceled should request a credit through Steve Rossetti at ECAC. Steve’s decision regarding any credit is final.
Since officials don’t pay an assigning fee on games assigned after the August 15 deadline, we anticipate only officials who had several games canceled after they paid their assigning fee will receive a credit on their fee for the following year.
NCAA Soccer Rule 12.6.1.1 states that, “A player, coach or bench personnel shall be ejected if he or she is guilty of fighting or leaves the coaching area to participate in an altercation.” Also be aware that Rule 12.6.1.2 states, “A coach or team representative may leave the coaching area during an altercation, providing it is an attempt to restore order.”
In the case where the entire team leaves the coaching area to participate in an altercation, each team member should be shown a red card and ejected for fighting except where Rule 12.6.1.2 allows.
