Board.
	
3. SCHEDULING/STANDINGS

forty-five minute halves with a five minute half-time intermission. 
In championship games or cup games, if still tied, two ten minute 
overtime periods shall be played. In the event of darkness or 
inclement weather, both teams must decide before the start 
of the game as to whether there will be two 10-minutes

representative of each team shall furnish the referee with 
the line-up of players and their I.D. cards. Referee shall verify 
players with I.D. cards and verify that all players have proper

competing player, whether or not she plays. Any player 
included on the team roster may be in the line-up and may 
play in the game. A minimum of seven (7) players per team is 
required to play the game. If a team fails to show-up 15 minutes

change the field of play or make any changes to any scheduled 
game for any reason without consulting a member of the 
Executive Board.
	
B. FIELDS: Referees will have the right to decide whether 
or not a field is playable. Teams that do not show up with 
enough players to start a game by 6:30pm, regardless of the 
referees' decision, will forfeit the game. 

C. RAIN-OUTS: The Executive Board may decide to cancel 
the full schedule of games by 3:00 p.m. on game day.

D. FORFEITS: Any team that forfeits a game prior to the

and the President or Vice President.  The President or 
Vice President will notify the referees of the cancellation and 
will confirm with the opposing team.

In the case of an in-game stoppage, a decision must be made

of time into the second half and is called due to inclement 
weather, the score stands and the game is final.
	
F. RESCHEDULING: In the event of extenuating 
circumstances such as inclement weather, availability of field, 
or field being closed per the town, every attempt shall be made 
to reschedule the game at both the players and referee’s  
earliest convenience.

registered by MRC. For all playoff games there shall be a 
referee and two referee linesmen, preferably adults.
A. AUTHORITY: The referee shall be the sole judge on the 
field of play. 

B. RULES OF PLAY: All referees shall be familiar with and 
honor these rules of play and the laws of the game as defined 
by F.I.F.A.

C. ATTITUDE (from USSF): We expect good referees and 
linesmen to be firm but fair, authoritative but courteous, 
responsible yet cooperative. A referee gains the respect of all 
concerned if he is approachable, even when the approachability 
may be misused by some who may choose to express dissent. 
But we must not mistakenly identify permissiveness (which is 
weakness) as approachability (which combined with firmness, 
is a great strength). Referees should be tolerant and supportive 
of fellow officials, even when disagreements about decisions 
arise. The courtesy extended to other participants in a game 
should not lead to too much fraternizing with players, coaches 
or other officials, for such actions can lead to a compromise 
of the referees principles.

D. ORDER: The referee must maintain order before, during 
and after any game. Coaches and other team officials must 
support and assist the referee in that effort. 

E. GAME RESULTS: shall be promptly submitted to the 
Secretary and should include any comments deemed 
necessary by the referee.

F. WEATHER: Before going to the field of play, if there is 
any doubt as to the field playability, the referee shall contact 
the home team rep or referee contact person.

G. ASSESSMENTS: Referees may at any time ask for 
assessments by contacting the Referee Administrator to 
review his or her performance.

H. GAME TIME: The referee and teams must be present at 
the playing field fifteen (15) minutes prior to the scheduled game 
time.

I. FAILURE TO SHOW: When the referee does not arrive 
within fifteen minutes after the scheduled kick-off, the team 
reps shall appoint an acting, certified referee to play the game. 
Otherwise, the two teams will reschedule under mutual 
agreement. Home team will notify league officers of any and 
all changes.

10. PROTESTS
A.REFEREE'S CALLS:  A referee’s decision during the 
game is not protestable.

B. PROCESS: The Executive Board will hear and rule upon 
all protests. Such protests must be submitted, in writing, to the 
Secretary within three (3) days, (72 hrs) of the game in question, 
accompanied by a deposit of $35.00 which shall be given as 
remuneration to the protest official, if so needed. 

C. HEARINGS: The Board shall hold a hearing within seven 
(7) days with the appropriate persons and/or refer to the 
protest official. All protests fall under the guidelines of FIFA.

D. DISQUALIFICATION: A member of the Executive 
Board shall be disqualified from deliberation or ruling upon a 
particular protest if that member was involved in the game as a 
coach, referee or player. Two alternates will be assigned each 
season in case of a conflict of interest between board members.

E. DECISIONS:  Deliberations and final decisions will be 
made in a closed session, and the Secretary will notify the 
involved parties as soon as possible. The Board is to render a 
decision within seven (7) days of that hearing. Such decisions 
will be final and shall not be subject to appeal. 

11. PENALTY CARDS: The OCWSL uses a point system 
as follows:
	

SEASON: Red card=3 points     Yellow card=1 point

Any accumulation of three (3) points will result in the player 
being suspended from the next scheduled game.TWO (2) 
additional points will result in an additional suspension from the 
next scheduled game.Any further points shall be brought before 
the board for review of the player’s conduct.

GAME:  One (1) yellow card= immediate substitution
One (1) red card = immediate ejection from this game and 
premises and the player may not be substituted. The player may 
not attend the next scheduled game in any way.

ALL CARD OFFENSES MUST BE REPORTED TO AN 
EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBER ALONG WITH THE 
PLAYERS NAME AND NUMBER WHERE IT WILL BE 
BROUGHT BEFORE THE BOARD FOR APPROPRIATE 
ACTION. 
The Board member will notify the league officers 
of any misconduct. The league will notify all parties concerned 
of any actions to be taken. If the Board considers that the 
offense is of a serious nature, they shall hear the case of all 
parties concerned and decide on the appropriate action. 
	
12. DISCRETIONARY PENALTIES
The Executive Board may recommend to the OCWSL 
such penalties, up to and including banishment from the 
league for life, for act(s) of misconduct by a player or coach. 
Lesser penalties may be imposed.
	



13. FRACAS OR UNBECOMING CONDUCT
If a player, in or out of uniform, leaves the bench to take part 
in a fracas and is ejected by the referee, she shall be suspended 
for the remainder of the season. If any member of a team 
engages in unbecoming conduct which is brought to the 
attention of the Board, the Standards Committee will investigate 
and make recommendations to the league to take appropriate 
action. This could involve banning such individuals from further 
league activities.
	
14. REFEREE SUPPORT and CONTROL OF SPECTATORS
It is the responsibility of the coaches and reps to maintain the 
highest standards of conduct for themselves and their players, 
as well as any and all supporters at all matches. Abusive and 
obscene language, violent play, violent conduct, fighting and 
other behavior will not be tolerated. It is also the responsibility 
of the coaches and reps to fully support the referee at all times.
 In cases where the fans are, in the opinion of the referee, 
getting out of hand (verbal abuse to the referee, opposing 
players, coaches or spectators) the referee has the power to 
stop the game and ask the appropriate rep to get her fans 
under control. In no case will the referee deal directly 
with a spectatorS. If after the appropriate rep has tried to 
comply with the referees request and the problem still exists, 
the referee may terminate the game and make a full report to 
the President. In cases where spectator affiliation cannot be 
determined, it is up to the home team rep to address the 
situation. If the situation is not corrected, the referee, again, 
may terminate the game. All players and coaches must stay 
within 10 yards of the midfield line. Spectators are expected to 
stay 5 yards from the touch line. No spectators will be allowed 
behind the goals or end lines. Penalties for unruly fans will be 
recommended by the Executive Board to the OCWSL, and 
could include having a team play all away games, suspension 
of a team from the league, or requiring a team to play without 
any spectator support.
	
15. CONDUCT
A. GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP: A person who can take 
a loss or defeat without complaint, or win without gloating, 
and who treats her opponents with fairness, generosity and 
courtesy, is a good sportsman. Players gain from learning, 
experiencing and exercising good sportsmanship. All coaches, 
reps and referees are expected to encourage and promote it. 
All participants in OCWSL games will conduct themselves in 
a sportsmanlike manner. Unsportsmanlike conduct by coaches, 
players or spectators is not acceptable. The Board will take 
appropriate action when necessary.

B. SUSPENSIONS: The League, when officially notified, 
shall wholly recognize a player suspension or similar ruling.
