Officials

OFFICIALS

Proficient referees or umpires must be employed in all SGIS Sports competitions. 

Where possible the SGIS Sports Competition Organiser should refrain from refereeing. However, if this is not possible, another individual must be appointed to take over the duties of the competition organising and handle all matters including disputes, etc. 

Coaches and players must respect the decisions made by the referees. Any official complaint must be made in writing immediately after the game and submitted to the SGIS Competition Organiser. 

Official scoring tables should have adult supervision. Students may be used for scoring tables, but there should be an adult there to oversee them at all times (this adult may be a staff member, parent or official referee). 

Cat A & B referees must be licensed from a governing body and at least 18 years old.
