1 Special Notes Red Cards and Serious Incidents in USSF Games For USSF games, red cards and other serious incidents should be reported. Contact the assignor if you have any questions on the report or who needs a copy. The USSF game report form is posted on the Forms page. A common question from new referees is how do we get paid for credit leagues? After the season, the leagues are billed. Once the payment is received by our organization from all of the leagues, checks are distributed via mail by the Treasurer. Can we use a two-whistle system in USSF sanctioned matches if a referee is missing? Under no circumstance should a dual whistle system be used in a USSF game! One is the referee and the other is an assistant referee. A club linesman may be recruited. Complete and Proper Uniform for USSF sanctioned matches. All referees working USSF sanctioned matches must follow the USSF uniform guidelines. Visit U.S. Soccer's website for more information. In the event of an incomplete uniform: a) Go home and get your complete and proper uniform, or b) Since a club Assistant (AR) need not have a complete uniform, then a referee not in uniform may work, but for the same pay as a club AR (i.e., "nothing").

These are now 1-person games. - BBSL will no longer pay officials cash at the field. We hope to bill monthly to distribute checks. This means no changing assigned games or position (, Ar#1, AR#2) or you risk getting the wrong pay amount. - To all assignors: This weekend is the start of the fall season for the BBSL. I want to make everyone aware of a few things and clarify some things that may be unclear. Regarding the checking of player passes prior to the game, in the spring season we instituted the policy of the team managers checking the opposing team's player passes and rosters. If there is any question regarding the eligibility of a player or the validity of any roster, they should bring this to the referee's attention prior to the start of the game. Obviously, the referees always have the right to check any player pass or roster. We have also instituted the rule that every team must present a copy of their stamped MSYSA roster to the referee prior to the start of the game for the referee to keep for his/herself. From BBSL
