Are you a referee? (of course you are)

Have an Apple Watch?

If so, there is a really good app out there for your watch:

You can run the app independently on Apple watch or the iPhone. You can also download settings from iPhone to the Apple Watch if you prefer.

See how to set it up on the watch:

The app has three timers – game clock, stoppage clock and elapsed time. Elapsed time starts at zero and runs uninterrupted during the game. Game clock and stoppage clock are tied together – either game clock is running during the game or stoppage clock is running. Works much like a SPINTSO

The best part is that once you’re game is completed, you can sync it with your phone and send yourself a complete match report with all goals, cautions and send offs, including all the times.

Referee futsal?  The app also has a foul counter!

To get the app for free, just go to the app store on your phone, and look for a link to input this code – 6NWKJL6EKMRF.
The link should be at the very bottom of the screen.  Code will expire on February 21, 2018

Happy Whistling

At our education session last night, there was some talk surrounding the law change of playing an advantage and then restarting with an indirect free kick if the offending player gets involved with play.  Here is the clip that was presented to illustrate this point:

There was a slight error in the explanation of this change which we would like to now rectify.

For your viewing, and reviewing, and re-reviewing pleasure (we suggest you watch these multiple times until you are comfortable with the new changes)…

Here are the OSA Modules that were recently released on RefCentre.  If you haven’t already taken each module test, and scored 100%, please do so ASAP as you will not be allowed to register for the upcoming 2017 season until you do!

OSA Modules can be found HERE

Enjoy!
