Notes for the Guidance of RefereesTo be read in conjunction with the North Berks Competitions Rule Book provided to all referees registered with the North Berks Football League. We accept that most Referees acquaint themselves with the Rules of Competitions in which they officiate but rules change and newly registered Referees often appreciate guidance, so please check the rules contained in this handbook and those issued for other competitions as they are notified to you. For clarification on any issues, please contact the Hon. Referees Secretary who will be happy to assist. Some pointers to help the season run smoothly:- · Please advise Referees Secretary as soon as possible of 'open' dates available for North Berks or non-availability through refereeing or other commitments, even after being appointed. · Please acknowledge appointments as soon as possible. · If forced to 'cry off' at short notice, please try to notify the home Club to give them a chance of finding a deputy. o Remember; if you are not at a ground 15 minutes before kick-off time Clubs MUST agree to a substitute Referee. o Remember; Clubs must have their ground and accommodation open for inspection 30 minutes before kick-off so you can ask for any faults in nets, lines etc. to be rectified if possible before kick-off time and so avoid a late kick-off and possible abandonment as a result. § Note Rule 10 (B) proviso for 80 minutes to be played under certain conditions. § Proviso for extra-time (20 or 30 minutes at your discretion before it begins) in ALL ROUNDS of ALL North Berks Competitions - conditions always permitting. Extra-time is also to be played in the second leg of two match ties if the aggregate scores are level. · Note that up to 25p per mile for travelling expenses is payable for inspecting at a Club's or Council's request to check for play. A fee of £12 (£9 Assistant Referees) (inclusive of travelling expenses) is payable for attendance at an appointment when fixtures cannot be played because of prevailing conditions. · Contravention of rules to be reported to Hon. Referees Secretary on cards provided.
The referee’s fee, inclusive of travelling expenses, shall be £35.00. The fee for Assistant Referees, when appointed shall be £29.00, inclusive of travelling expenses. The home club shall pay the officials their fees within 15 minutes of the end of the match. A club failing to comply shall be fined not exceeding £15.00. In the event of a match not being played because of circumstances over which the Clubs have no control, the Match Officials, if present, shall be entitled to a fee of £25.00 for a Referee and £20.00 for an Assistant Referee. CLUB LINESMAN OF THE YEAR (CLUB ASSISTANT REFEREE) An award is made annually to the Club Linesman who obtains the highest average mark in North Berks league matches. Club Linesmen should ensure that the officiating Referee is made aware of his name so that an assessment of his performance can be made and passed to the Hon Referees Secretary, who will collate the marks to determine the eventual winner. All Referees in all games should submit marks on their Match Report Cards. The North Berks Football League Council fully supports the worthwhile scheme that encourages regular participation of Club Linesmen and undoubtedly increases the competency of individuals for the benefit of North Berks football in general.
