The 2008 payment schedule is: $38 (Center Referee), $20 (Assistant Referee).

The IFASA modifications to the USSF laws can be viewed here.

The following are administrative notes and advice from our board to Center Referees:

• Player cards or proof of registrations are mandatory. No card, no play, period. Cards must include a current session sticker! Please collect all player cards and a team roster at or before the coin toss.
• Verify with the captain that the roster matches the jersey numbers of the players.
• Late Games: To encourage players to arrive on time, and to minimize the disruption to others, all referees should start their game clock not later than ten minutes after the scheduled start time. If play has not yet begun, inform the captains of your actions.
• For Coed play, there is a 3 goal maximum, per player per game. Any goals scored beyond the third are not counted and the restart is a goal or corner kick, as appropriate. There shall be no more than six(6) men on the field for a team at any given time. Also, women are required to take any/all penalty kicks from the PK mark.
• While slide tackling is prohibited (see our modifications to the laws, above), it should be noted that sliding away from an opponent (e.g. to keep the ball in play) is not a tackle, even though it is a sliding play on the ball, and therefore, should not be considered a foul.
• In the event that a player is sent off/Red Carded, retain possession of the player card. You can forward it by mail to the president of the league.
