  1. Refereeing with Fewer Than Three

  2. Course Objectives • Understand Diagonal System of Control (DSC) principles • Understand the priorities for referees • Apply those principles and priorities when fewer than three referees are available.

  3. What Do Officials Need to Monitor? • Scoring of a goal • Ball over a boundary line • Offside • Fouls/misconduct • Technical infringements (on restarts)

  4. Core Principle of the DSC Referees constantly vary their positions to maximize the likelihood that one is properly situated to judge any event that occurs • The referee always makes the decision • The assistant referees communicate (signal) what they have seen, assisting the referee to make a decision

  13. What Governs the Referee’s Movement? • Where must he be… • To observe what is happening now? • To observe what will happen next? • These can be contradictory demands! • The assistant referees help resolve the conflict • This is what makes refereeing with fewer than three officials hard! • Less information from others means more constraints on positioning • Referee can’t do it all by himself, so must prioritize

  14. DSC with Two Referees

  15. DSC with Two Referees • One is the referee, one is an assistant referee • A club linesman is used on the other touch line • This is the only acceptable configuration The dual system (two referees on the field with whistles) is not authorized for use in AYSO matches!

  16. DSC with Two Referees: Positioning CL Touch line Direction of play Fouls and injuries R Goal line Referee will need to lead play to watch for offside AR1

  17. DSC with Two Referees: Idealized Referee Coverage CL R AR1

  18. DSC with Two Referees: Realistic Referee Coverage CL R AR1

  19. DSC with One Referee • Recruit two club linesman • Never do a game solo without linesmen! • Physically and mentally taxing • Can’t watch everything • Must focus on priorities: goals, offside, fouls • Linesmen worry about ball into touch

  20. DSC with One Referee: Realistic Referee Coverage CL R CL

  21. DSC with One Referee: Implications • Coverage is shallower and narrower • Judging ball on goal line is next to impossible • Obvious offside (younger players) is easy • Judging close offside requires being ahead of the ball at both ends, which is impossible • Don’t call offside unless you are sure! • For older players, tight control is essential • Limit use of advantage

  22. Restarts

  23. A = Corner Kick Referee Side B = Corner Kick Club Linesman Side C = DFK RefereeSide D = DFK Club Linesman Side E = Penalty Kick Where Should the Referee Be? CL B Direction of play D R E C A AR1

  24. DSC: Restarts with Club LinesmanReferee Position CL Direction of play A = Corner Kick Referee side R A

  25. DSC: Restarts with Club LinesmanReferee Position CL B Direction of play B = Corner KickClub Linesman side R

  26. DSC: Restarts with Club LinesmanReferee Position CL Direction of play C = DFK RefereeSide C R

  27. DSC: Restarts with Club LinesmanReferee Position CL Direction of play D = DFKClub Linesman Side D R

  28. DSC: Restarts with Club LinesmanReferee Position Direction of play E = Penalty Kick CL E R

  29. DSC with Fewer than Three:People Management

  30. DSC with Fewer Than Three:People Management • Younger players’ games • Focus on the adults • Have pre-game discussion with coaches • Older players’ games • Focus on players, not coaches/spectators • “Sign up” the players for low offside expectations • Limit use of advantage • Failure to detect fouls can lead to loss of control

  31. Fouls Off-the-Ball • Identify problem players early • Be nearer to problem players • Take a wider position to see more • Ask AR (not club linesman) to watch players • Speak to players early; prevent escalation • Consider cautioning earlier than usual

  32. DSC with Two Officials: AR Helps with Problem Players CL When play is here R AR1 watches players behind referee’s back AR1

  33. Summary • Refereeing with fewer than three referees is a compromise • Use principles of the DSC to adjust position to compensate • Prioritize your duties and position yourself to maximize your ability to judge goals, offside and fouls And remember: the dual system is not authorized for use in AYSO!
