PROCEDURES AND GU I DELINES FOR THE APPOINT M ENT OF REFEREESINTRODUCTION

All members have various responsibilities to fulfil in their capacity as an active referee. All active members must observe the following when officiating in matches:

Arrive at the ground and be dressed and ready at least 30 minutes prior to the commencement of your game.

Ensure that Association clothing is worn to/from grounds. If you play please attend the ground with tracksuit (and/or other attire – not your club football strip),

Total respect to officials, players and your fellow members at all times, must be followed

Advise the Saturday Appointments Manager or the Sunday Appointments Manager as appropriate of your availability/unavailability no later than 7 days prior to the weekend of your unavailability.

METHOD OF APPOINTMENTSUnder the guidance of the Head of Referee Development, appointments are made with a focus on attendance and active participation at training, willingness to learn and apply your skills and above all else, a positive attitude as a referee. The Board will appoint the most suitable available referees in each grade every weekend.

ROLE FUNCTIONS A ND RESPONSIBIL I TIES Head of Referee Development (HRD)The HRD has overall responsibility for the appointment of referees to all matches played within the Penrith district and under the jurisdiction of the Penrith and Districts Junior Rugby League. The HRD is responsible for the organization/coordination of training to facilitate the coaching and development of all referees.

Appointments BoardThe Appointments Board will assist the Sunday Appointments Manager with the weekly appointment of referees to all matches played in the Penrith district. Members of the Board will be available each weekend to undertake an assessment of referees’ performances.

The Board will meet as required on Sunday evenings to review reports on the performances of members and to appoint members based on these reports. Reports shall be received from the Appointments Board, Advisory Panel and other members co-opted to assist the Sunday Appointments Manager from time to time.

Referee Development Officers (RDOs)The R D O s will assist the S a t u r d a y A p po i n t m e n t s M a na g e r with the assessment of members' performances in Saturday football. The RDO will submit reports to the Saturday Appointments Manager at the completion of each round.

RDOs will attend meetings on the first Sunday of every month and on other occasions when there is reason to do so, for example, a report of an unsatisfactory nature that requires immediate discussion with the Board.

REFEREE REPORTS The basic requirement for any report on a member’s performance is for the report to be constructive and meaningful. The primary aim of reports is to highlight areas for development and improvement of all referees.

Appointment of RefereesMembers shall not be appointed to any match if they do not possess the appropriate accreditation as approved by the National Rugby League. Referees will be appointed only after they have registered on Leaguenet with the Penrith Referee’s Association. An availability form is also to be completed and is available from the Executive Officer.

Members will be appointed on ability, merit, attitude and performance.

TRAINING Training is held every Tuesday at Jamison Park No. 5 from 6.30pm to 8:15pm, except for last Tuesday of the month, when it will be held at Nepean Crossfit. You need to bring your whistle, flags, boots and joggers to every session. Training will address both fitness and skills including the Laws of the Game

All active members are encouraged to attend training as this plays an important role in your development as a referee. All members who are currently or aspiring to referee under 19, A Reserve and A Grade are required to attend training.

The Appointments Board will consider the attendance and participation of members at training when assessing members’ eligibility and ability to referee final series matches. Members unable to attend training should advise the HRD in writing.

It should be noted that to attend training is to participate; do not attend training if you are not prepared or able to train.

In the event of wet weather please check the Association’s website or facebook page for notice of a change of venue.

COACH I NG AND DEVEL O P M ENT OF REFEREES The HRD will oversee the coaching and development of all referees. It is the responsibility of the Appointments Board, RDOs and Appointment Managers to identify areas for improvement in referees. The HRD will at times conduct training sessions that will focus on laws of the game and theory sessions. It is strongly encouraged that referees attend these sessions.

The HRD can be contacted on 0448 890 481 or [email protected].

REFEREEING GAMES You should only officiate in matches that you have been appointed to, or have been officially advised to by the Appointment Managers. Do NOT officiate in any game at the request of a coach, Junior League or club official.

It is your responsibility to check the appointments when emailed to you. If changes occur on the day of the appointments you are to email the changes, by the Tuesday following the appointment, to [email protected]

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the HRD, Executive Officer or the relevant Appointments Manager.

PROCEDURE F OR REPLACING A PLAYER IN MINI OR MOD FOOTBALL Players can be replaced in the modified game (Mini and Mod) but cannot be sent off. The replacement should be administered by engagement of the Captain/Trainer of the side of the player being replaced. The replacement period will be governed by the severity and repeated nature of the offense. It will be either the remainder of a period/half or the rest of the game.

PLAYER REPLACED IN MINI OR MOD FOOTBALL (U6 TO U12)

Please refer to the Association’s website for the form that is to be completed in this instance.

After completing the form please call the Executive Officer on 0448 890 842 and email the report to: [email protected]. This must be completed before 7pm on game day.

PROCEDURE FOR DISMISS I NG A PLAYER IN I N TERNATIO N AL FOOTBALLIf you have dismissed a player from the field of play in international football, the following procedure is to be adhered to:

1. Complete the Dismissal Form in duplicate. Follow the instructions at the bottom of the Dismissal Form. If the dismissal occurred as the result of a report from one or both Touch Judges, ensure reports are completed and submitted by all the match officials involved in the dismissal. A Club Official from the dismissed player’s club must sign the D i s m i s s a l F o r m a n d p r o v i d e d w i t h t h e Club Official’s copy. Please note that for the charge of “Trips, Kicks or Strikes” you must identify the specific action – “trip”, “kick” or “strike”. If a player is dismissed for “Obscene and Offensive Language” and this language is directed at a Match Official, then you must indicate this on the Dismissal Form.

2. Do NOT take the player’s registration card or sign on sheet. You may ask to view both to copy down the details you need.

3. Inform the Executive Officer on 0448890482 by 7pm on the evening of the dismissal. If you receive the voicemail of the Executive Officer, please leave the following details:

a. Date

b. Referee’s Name

c. Touch Judge’s involved (if applicable)

d. Grade

e. Player’s Name

f. Player’s Club

g. Player’s Registration Number

h. Charges(s)

4. The Referee and Touch Judge(s) (If applicable) involved will complete the Judiciary Report form and email by 7pm on the day of the dismissal, or next day in the event of a night game, to d ism issa ls@penr i t h re fe rees .com.au .

The Referee and Touch Judge(s) (if applicable) will be advised of their mandatory attendance to the Judiciary at 7.00pm on the following Wednesday at the Junior League Office Penrith. You will be supported by a member of the Referee’s Association. You will be required to present your case under instruction from the Chairperson of the Penrith Junior League Judiciary.

5. If the player has taken the early guilty plea you will be informed by the Executive Officer. If you do not hear anything you must attend Judiciary as above.

6. The Judiciary Committee will arrange for a copy of the Judiciary report form(s) to be given to the player.

7. You will then wait to be called by t h e Judiciary Committee to give evidence on the dismissal. If you wish to leave for a short period ensure that permission is sought from either the referees' representative on the Judiciary Panel or the Judiciary Chairperson.

8. After your hearing, leave the premises immediately. DO NOT wait for the player to be called in to hear the decision.

9. Whilst you are at Judiciary, ensure your behavior is of the highest standard. You and the Referee’s Association as a whole will be judged on the manner in which you conduct yourself at Judiciary.

10. Ensure that your dress and manner are appropriate for attending Judiciary hearings.

The minimum standard is the Association polo shirt with (good) jeans or trousers. If you have been officiating that afternoon or evening, you may wear the Association tracksuit. If you do not have Association supplied "off-field" attire, neat "neutral" clothing is advised. Club Shirts/Football jumpers (especially from a Junior League club) ARE NOT TO BE WORN.

JUDICIARY: THE CORRECT CHARGES The Dismissal Form lists the charges as they are written in Section 15 of the International Laws. Simply tick the correct charge(s) on the day of the dismissal; you expand the circumstances on the Judiciary Report form.

For example: if a player is dismissed for a high tackle, you would tick: “when effecting or attempting to effect a tackle makes contact with the head or neck of an opponent intentionally, recklessly or carelessly.”

Some important exceptions or variations to this are:

If one player punches another player and is dismissed, the charge ticked would be “trips, kicks or strikes another player”. You would then tick the specific action, “strike”. It follows that should the player trip an opponent, you would tick “trips” and if a player kicks another player, tick “kicks”.

A player may be dismissed for use of obscene or offensive language, in which case that box would be ticked. If the player has directed this language at a match official, you MUST also tick the box stating “at a Referee or Touch Judge”. Failure to select this box when necessary means that the player will not have to answer to the charge of directing offensive language at the official, merely just using offensive language which may carry a lesser penalty.

If any racial insults/vilification is used, irrelevant of who it was directed at, the correct charge to use is “behaves in any way contrary to the true spirit of the game”. Underneath the box for that charge, the Referee will write “racial vilification”. This will also be written on the Judiciary Report Form. When you ring the Executive Officer, ensure you state that racial vilification is involved.

In the event that a player leaves the “sin bin” to join in a fight (or start one), two charges would be laid. Firstly, “Trips, kicks or strikes another player”, (assuming he did punch someone), and “Re-enters the field of play without the permission of the Referee or Touch Judge having previously temporarily retired from the game”.

NOTE: Be careful with this second charge, it only applies to a player in the “sin bin”, a reserve player who has already taken part in the game or a player who is outside the field of play at the time of the incident. Also note, the words “running a distance”, are not included anywhere. If a player did “run a distance” to throw a punch, you would include this detail in your Judiciary Report form.

If you are assaulted or threatened by a player, the correct charge to use is “behaves in any way contrary to the true spirit of the game”. Again, you would put the details in the Judiciary Report form.

PROCEDURES FOR ASSAULT ON A REFEREE / TOUCH J UDGE Unfortunately, sometimes a referee or touch judge will be pushed, shoved or otherwise assaulted by a player. The following procedure must be adhered to:

1. Dismiss the player. The procedure for dismissing a player must be followed, including the judiciary hearing. If you still feel threatened or if the matter is serious the police may be called.

2. Contact the Executive Officer immediately to report the incident. If the Executive Officer cannot be reached, contact another Board member in the following order: Chairman, HRD or Head of Finance.

3. Report the incident to the police. Attend the police station nearest to the ground where the incident occurred. Take the names of witnesses (e.g. touch judges, Ground Manager, officials) and any other items (video of the incident, doctor’s report etc.) that may help the police with their inquiries. An Executive member may accompany you if requested. Should the police pursue the matter, you may be called upon to give evidence if the matter goes to court. Keep all records of the incident, as this may take some time.

PROCEDURE FOR ALLEGATION OF BIT I NG, EYE GOUG I N G OR RAC I AL VILIF I CATION When a player indicates to the Referee that he has been bitten, eye gouged or the subject to racist comments, the referee will:

1. Call time out.

2. Witness the injury (Bite or gouge mark).

3. Ask the player to identify the alleged offender.

4. Call both Touch Judges, both captains and the alleged offender to witness the injury (Bite or gouge mark) and hear the allegation.

5. The Referee should then inform both players and witnesses that s/he will complete a formal complaint form after the match regarding the incident. The Touch Judge on the official table side of the field will report the alleged offender(s) number and request that it be clearly marked on the sign on sheet.

6. Play will then resume as normal.

7. Following the match the Referee and both Touch Judges, will complete a Referee’s Incident/Match Report Form and email this to the Executive Officer before 7.00pm on the day of the incident. All details need to be filled in including the nature of the complaint, player’s names and numbers, and clubs of both the complainant and the accused. The Referee will NOT take the players card.

8. The Referee will notify the Executive Officer of the complaint that evening, indicating:

a. Referee and touch judges involved

b. Nature of the incident (i.e. Biting or eye gouging, racial vilification)

c. Complainants (bitten or gouged player) name and Club

d. Accused (player alleged to have bitten or gouged or made racist comment), name and club

e. Accused player’s registration number

f. Age

9. The player making the al legat ion and his club must submit paperwork to the Junior League for the complaint to proceed. If this occurs, the Referee and Touch Judges may have to attend the hearing of the Conduct Review Committee as

PROCEDURE F OR A NY O THER INCIDENT O CCURRING AT A GROUNDFrom time to time, incidents/events occur at a ground in which the Referee/Touch Judge have little control over. For example, poor spectator behavior, Trainers/Coaches overstepping the mark, etc.

You are to fill out an Incident Report if any of the following occur:

Poor spectator behavior or spectators invading the playing area.

If you tell any club trainer he/she is not to return to the field of play.

If an object(s) is/are thrown at the Referee/Touch Judge.

If a Coach/Club Official approaches you in the incorrect manner. (Saturday or Sunday).

If you are threatened by any player/official or spectator after the match. You should consider taking this matter to the police as well.

If play has been abandoned in any game, for any reason including under the Tough Love in League policy. (Poor weather, lack of crowd control, unsafe playing field, unable to control players, crowd become involved in on-field fight etc).

If you are at a ground and witness an incident that was missed by the Referee and/or Touch Judge, contact the Executive Officer first before filling in a report for this.

A major incident (where you feel that the safety of yourself, players or spectators is at risk) or abandoned match should be reported to the Executive Officer by telephone THAT EV E NIN G (prior to 7pm), and the Incident Report emailed to [email protected]

Following a request from the Junior League, all Referees are to fill in an Incident Report for Trainers who overstep the mark even if the offence is minor. This will allow the Junior League to monitor the behavior of all trainers.

NOTE : The filling in of an Incident Report does not automatically mean a hearing.

A dim view will be held of any member who either complains about an incident at a ground and hasn’t filled in an incident report or has a major incident at a ground and the Association finds out through a third party.

JEWELLERY POLICY Watches: Up to the individual Referee/Touch Judge. It is preferable that they

are not worn, but the decision, (and any risk), is left to the individual.

Rings: May be worn provided they are a plain style band (i.e. wedding band). Chunky or engagement style rings are NOT to be worn.

Chains/Necklaces: Are permitted provided they are hidden by the jersey.

Hair Clips: Are to be plain and NOT ornamented in any way.

Ear Rings, Nose rings, Mouth rings, Eyebrow studs: Not to be worn whilst refereeing.

If you have recently had the body part pierced, you are to contact the HRD and advise how long the ring or stud must remain in, (usually about two weeks). You will be permitted to wear the ring or stud for that period of time provided that it is covered with a bandaid or Elastoplast.
