Referee

  • If only one referee shows up - they should use club linesman - positioned on opposite sides of the field from their home team.
  • If no refs show up then a uniformed referee could step in - but both coaches have to agree on the referee. Once agreed - then the game results stand. If one coach does not agree - the result reverts back to the 'no ref' situation.
  • Must be impressed upon everyone that NO GAME can be played if a Certified Referee is not in the center. This would result in the double forfeit (6 points for each team) as mentioned above in the Point System category.
