PLEASE DISTRIBUTE TO ALL YOUR TEAMS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

 

I think there was a little problem this weekend involving referees keeping scoresheets.   Basically, referees are required to fill out game reports for all game misconduct and match penalties (as well as other serious infractions).  Sometimes the referee is doing multiple games and has to put off his report until later.  Other times, the referee has finished making his penalty assessments, but continues to hold the scoresheet while he makes notes from the scoresheet.  We have had several complaints over the last few weekends from managers who say that they have had to wait too long for the scoresheet...not to mention the tension and problems it can cause in the hallways! 

 

To remedy this situation, I informed the Referee in Chief that the referees were free to keep a copy of the scoresheet in this situation, provided that they notify the home team manager that they need to keep a copy! 

 

The home and visiting team will still have a copy for each of them as well as the white copy for the league.  It really doesn't matter which color, but the league statistician would like the referee to keep the pink copy if one is needed.

 

Some referees mistakenly believed that they were to keep a copy from all of their games.  This is incorrect and will be corrected throughout the week.  If any team was deprived of a copy of their scoresheet this week, please let us know and we will fax you a copy as soon as we receive the white copy.  We apologize for the confusion.
