Notes
- Using a scale of up to 100 allows greater
flexibility for clubs to distinguish between different refereeing
performances more accurately
- A mark within each mark range can be given
to reflect the referee's performance e.g. a mark of 79 indicates a
somewhat better performance than a mark of 71
- A mark between 71 an 80 represents the
standard of refereeing expected
- When a mark of 50 or less is awarded, an
explanation must be provided to the League or Competition BY LETTER,
signed by the Chairman & Secretary of the club, accompanied by the
marking form. It must include comments which could help
improve the referee's future performance. Even where a
referee has significant shortcomings, there will have been some
positive aspects, which should be given credit, extremely low marks
(below 20) should be very rare.
How to decide on the Referee's Mark
The following questions focus on the key areas of a
referee's performance. They are intended as an "Aide Memoire", not
necessarily comprehensive and need not be answered individually.
It is, however, worth considering them before committing yourself to a
mark for the referee.
CONTROL AND DECISION MAKING
- How well did the referee control the game ?
- Were the players' actions recognized correctly ?
- Were the Laws applied correctly ?
- Were all incidents dealt with efficiently
/effectively ?
- Were all the appropriate sanctions applied
correctly ?
- Was the referee always within a reasonable
distance of incidents ?
- Was the referee well positioned to make critical
decisions, especially in and around the penalty area ?
- Did the referee understand the players'
positional intentions and keep out of the way accordingly ?
- Did the referee demonstrate alertness and
concentration throughout the game ?
- Did the referee apply the use of the advantage to
suit the mood and temperature of the game ?
- Was the referee aware of the players' attitude to
advantage ?
- Did the referee use the assistants effectively ?
- Did the officials work as a team, and did the
referee lead and manage them to the benefit of the game ?
COMMUNICATION AND PLAYER MANAGEMENT
- How well did the referee communicate with the
players during the game ?
- Did the referee's level of involvement/profile
suit this particular game ?
- Did the referee understand the players' problems
on the day - e.g. difficult ground/weather conditions ?
- Did the referee respond to the changing pattern
of play/mood of players ?
- Did the referee demonstrate empathy for the game,
allowing it to develop in accordance with the tempo of the game ?
- Was the referee pro-active in controlling the
game ?
- Was the referee's authority asserted firmly
without being officious ?
- Was the referee confident and quick thinking ?
- Did the referee appear unflustered and unhurried
when making critical decisions ?
- Did the referee permit undue questioning of
decisions ?
- Did the referee deal effectively with players
crowding around after decisions/incidents ?
- Was effective player management in evidence ?
- Was the referee's body language confident and
open at all times ?
- Did the pace of the game, the crowd or player
pressure affect the referee negatively ?
FINAL THOUGHTS
- Always try to be objective when marking.
You may not obtain the most objective view by marking immediately
after the game.
- Judge the performance over the whole game.
Don't be too influenced by one particular incident.
