THE CLUB AWARD TROPHY

GUIDELINES

These guidelines are produced in response to clubs and referees requests for information on how to impress referees or how to gauge the marks awarded for each appointment.

Pre-match AdministrationPre-match administration commences with the first contact by the clubs match secretary, this is to be as early in the week as possible, certainly no later than the Thursday before the game.In the event of a potential problem with the fixture the Club MUST advise the referee for whatever reason be it weather, lack of opposition or difficulty in raising a side. Keep the Referees Society informed.

Welcome At ClubWelcome at the club? Car Park space? Was a senior club member/VP assigned to look after you? If you have an Assessor was he welcomed?

Changing & PitchDo you have a proper referee changing room and not a store room with a chair and a nail on the wall. Is the changing room clean and tidy? Were there any refreshments in the changing room?

Are the lines visible, correctly marked, white in colour. If there has been recent rain, have efforts been made to reinstate the lines where they have been washed away. Do the touch/corner flags have flags or are they just posts, do these posts comply with the minimum height requirements? Was a first aid kit available? Was the pitch correctly barrier off with technical areas?
