The Professional Look Everything Matches Referee Tea
Proper Uniforms In a GU 12 match the Referee determines that one of the teams has only Gold shirts to wear in the game. The Referee decides to have the officiating crew change to Blue jerseys, but the two young ARs only have Gold shirts. To avoid problems the Referee decides to wear a Blue jersey, while allowing the ARs to wear their Gold shirts. Is this acceptable and something the Referee should do? A. Yes B. No
Proper Uniforms An adult AR comes to a match wearing black ankle socks, green shoes and long shorts hanging below the knee. The Referee decides to dismiss the AR for not wearing a proper uniform and then appoints a Club Linesman in his place. The AR expects to be paid, since he was scheduled by the assignor, traveled 20 miles and he was at the field well prior to game time. The Referee is obligated to give this AR his game fee, even though the Referee chose not to use him. A. True B. False
