GUIDELINES
Sometimes, the rules are inappropriately used to call a Match Penalty. Please consider the following:
a. Rule 9.2 Verbal abuse is unacceptable behaviour, but it is NOT a Match.
b. Rule 6.1 If the player made an attempt to injure you, please ask yourself whether it would
have been effectively covered under Rule 9.6.
c. Rule 9.6a Note that this rule refers to intentionally touching, holding or pushing a referee.
Please make sure that the player did not mistake you for an opposing team player.
d. Rule 9.6b If you were struck deliberately, please make sure your description relates to this
rule. Please ensure the player’s intent. This is the most severe rule - please ensure
you are right.
e. Rule 9.6c Was this verbal abuse or an actual threat of physical abuse? Please make sure.
f. Rule 9.7 Ensure this was not an accident, but was done on purpose. Report only those
incidents where an official is involved, NOT player on player.
