Referees must provide the appropriate authorities with a match report which includes information on any disciplinary action taken against players, and/or team officials and any other incidents which occurred before, during or after the match.
Referees are required to do one of two things whenever they caution or send off a player or observe misconduct:
- Cautions - They must report the incident on the game report
- Send Offs - They must complete a misconduct report, notify Jennifer or Mickey and place report with game card in the ref area game report boxes. Adult player cards are sent in with the report for all red cards.
