I am very pleased with Jim’s appointment and am totally confident he will do a great job representing our region. I would also like to thank all the chapters in Region II for their support during my two year term as Regional Representative.
Recent feedback from the national level indicates some officials are not administrating the overtime rule (Rule 7.1.1) properly for games tied after the regulation 90 minutes. The rule states that two sudden-victory overtime periods of 10 minutes each shall be played.
Please note the following aspects of this rule:
In several instances, coaches have asked the referee crew to shorten or eliminate overtime periods and the referee crew allowed it. Coaches may not alter this rule even if both agree to it before the match.
The NCAA provided additional information on artificial noisemakers, pep bands and ejection reporting yesterday. Please be aware that this guidance requires referees to forward ejection reports that are filed at the NCAA Soccer Central Hub to the match assignor. If you filed an ejection report this year, please make sure you forward the confirmation email you received from the NCAA Soccer Central Hub to the assignor who gave you the match as soon as possible. If you did not retain the confirmation email, please follow the instructions on the NCAA directive referenced above to obtain the report and then forward it to your assignor.
The NCAA Soccer Rules now require the referee to report all ejections, fighting referee and assault ejections through the NCAA Soccer Central Hub. The ejection protocol for fighting is available on the NISOA web site. Please be aware that in the case of a fighting or referee assault ejection, the referee must file two reports, the “Red Card Form” and the “Fighting and Referee Assault Form.”
The 2012-2013 NCAA Soccer Rules changes require referees to report all ejections and instances of fighting ejections and referee assaults directly to the NCAA via the NCAA Soccer Central Hub at ArbiterSports.com. The online forms have been developed and posted. Please note the following procedural changes from prior years: Read the rest of this entry »
