| A. |
Many of
our officials will be young and inexperienced. They will appreciate
your cooperation. |
| B. |
A
training program for officials is conducted through the season. |
| C. |
The
referees’ judgment and discretionary rulings on the court in all cases
will be final and no protests of any kind shall be allowed. |
| D. |
No
coach, team, player, or other individual shall dictate to the referees
or to the referees’ schedule a preferred or unacceptable referee for
any game. |
| E. |
Failure
of a referee to appear within 10 minutes of the scheduled game time
will not be cause for canceling a game. If one referee is there, he
or she may ask for help or officiate the game alone. If neither of
the referees is there, the gym supervisor will select a person to
referee. Once the game has commenced under the supervision of a
selected alternate referee, the game shall continue as originally
scheduled until the referees scheduled are able to take over. |
| F. |
Any
coach, assistant coach, participant or spectator who physically
assaults or verbally abuses a referee shall be barred from all
Snohomish Junior Athletic Association activities for a minimum of one
year. An assault by a spectator could result in their child or
children being barred from Snohomish Junior Athletic Association
activities for a minimum of one year. In light of the fact that this
is a game for the children, we believe we will never need to put this
provision into practice. |
