Assessor/Instructor Test Review10th - Question 35 (29%) ATR Law 14, section 14.11 Other Violations At A Penalty Kick Although the referee is expected to allow a penalty kick to proceed despite a violation of Law 14 (see Advice 14.9), this is not the case if a player violates some other Law before the ball is put into play. Specifically, if a player commits violent misconduct before the penalty kick occurs, the referee must stop further action, send off the offending player, and restart the penalty kick from the beginning.
Assessor/Instructor Test Review9th - Question 31 (32%) ATR Law 13, section 13.9 Signal for Indirect Free Kick If the referee fails either to give the correct signal for an indirect free kick or to hold it for the required period of time, the indirect free kick must be retaken, regardless of the original outcome.
Assessor/Instructor Test Review8th - Question 4 (33%) ATR – Law 3, section 3.6 Allowing Substitutions and Adding Time - If, before the start of a match played under the rules of a competition, a player is replaced by a named substitute without the referee having been notified, this substitute, now a player, is permitted to play, but should be cautioned for entering the field of play without the permission of the referee. This is considered to be an improper manipulation of the roster, rather than a substitution, and does not count against the number of substitutions the team is permitted to use.
Assessor/Instructor Test Review7th - Question 10 (33%) ATR Law 4, section 4.6 Incorrect Uniform or Equipment. The inspection to confirm that the correction has been made is conducted by the referee or, if delegated by the referee in the pregame conference, by the fourth official or an assistant referee if a fourth official has not been appointed. The player must receive a signal from the referee before actually re-entering the field and may do so only during a stoppage.
Assessor/Instructor Test Review6th - Question 6 (34%) ATR – Law 3, section 3.12 Number of Player During Kicks from the Penalty Mark - The “reduce to equate” principle applies only between the time regular or extra time has ended and the actual taking of kicks from the penalty mark has begun.
Assessor/Instructor Test Review5th - Question 18 (34%) ATR – Law 12, section 12.6 Striking - If the player’s action was not a foul—because the target of the striking was off the field at the time or the target of the action was not an opponent—the misconduct (violent conduct) would be punished by an indirect free kick where the player committing the striking was located.
Assessor/Instructor Test Review4th - Question 46 (37%) USSF Position Paper, October 24, 2011 – A player temporarily off the field at the end of regular play who is declared unable to return after regular play has ended but before the first kick from the mark is taken may be substituted for (if the team has not used all its allowed substitutions) and will not reduce the number of eligible players for that team.
Assessor/Instructor Test Review3rd - Question 2 (39%) ATR – Law 1, section 1.6 No Player Modifications of the Field - a corner flag which cannot be repositioned upright in a stable manner and which would interfere with the normal taking of a corner kick, may be temporarily held upright until the corner kick is completed.
Assessor/Instructor Test Review2nd - Question 29 (39%) ATR Law 12, section 12.37 Judging an Obvious Goal Scoring Opportunity deny a goal scoring opportunity are not limited to those punishable by a direct free kick or penalty kick but may include misconduct or those fouls for which the restart is an indirect free kick.
Assessor/Instructor Test Review1st - Question 49 (42%) ATR Law 13, section 13.3 Enforcing the Required Distance – If the referee decides to enforce the required distance, an opponent who moves closer to the spot of the kick (from any direction) before it is taken must be cautioned and shown the yellow card if the referee has delayed the restart to ensure that the opponents are at the minimum distance.
