Since the ECAC assigning process here in the NY Metro area does not generate email reminders, conflicts will happen, we recommend the assigned referee contact the home team’s athletic administration department by phone, confirm the game site and contact the other assigned officials with the latest information. Remember, voice messages or email must be confirmed by the recipient. Everyone is responsible to positively confirm all pre-game communications.
NISOA prepared the following official interpretation of the 2007 NCAA Men’s and Women’s Soccer rules changes. Please be aware of the new rules and implement them for the upcoming season.
The Executive Board received this note regarding ejection reports and a summary of ejections from the 2006 season from Dr. Brian Crossman:
As chair of the NSCAA Ethics Committee I am supposed to receive all supplemental ejection reports. Going into the 2007 season I am asking your assistance to encourage the officials in your regions to submit all of their red card reports to me (and in a timely and complete manner). I believe I received about 65 percent of the actual red cards last year (over 1400). My goal is to raise that percentage each year until we get to at least 95 % of all red cards reported.
I would prefer to receive all reports by email. I will accept ‘snail’ mail but not faxes. My contact information is on the form.
Please make sure you comply with all ejection administrative reporting requirements.
The ECAC serves as a paying agent for subscribing schools to pay the assigned soccer officials. The schools using this service for men’s and women’s soccer in the metro New York City area for the 2007 season are:

This list is subject to change. Payments are scheduled for October 10, 2007 and November 16, 2007.
At this year’s NISOA Annual General Meeting, the NISOA Executive Committee approved a new NISOA chapter located in New Jersey. The newly formed New Jersey Metro ISOA chapter covers the northern part of New Jersey.

NY Metro ISOA members who attend this (or any other non-NY Metro ISOA) rules interpretation meeting are required to attend three of the four scheduled business meetings to meet the NISOA requirement to attend 3 business meetings.
