Referee Liasion Representative, Ray Theep
Game reports needed. Refs are not responsible for ensuring that the goals are set up in a timely manner, but are responsible for ensuring that they are set up appropriately. They are also responsible for getting the game started on time as well as checking player cards. There has been recent problems with referee tardiness. Jewelry, including wedding rings, are allowed as long as there are no safety issues (at referee's discretion). If refs are late or do not show up for game, please make sure that the referee's evaluation is submitted . Please email the information to Carole Hurst as well….to ensure that we do not pay for referees that do not show up.
Taking Down Nets
Don't forget if you are the last team, you must take down the nets, even if there is a forfeit. A $25 fine is imposed on the two teams who did not take down the nets and a credit will go out to the teams that helped put them away.
