Page 31 of 50GUIDE TO MARKING MATCH REFEREE
The mark awarded by a club must be based on the referee’s overall performance, It is most important that the
mark is awarded fairly and not based upon isolated incidents or previous games. The referee’s performance
should be determined by the table below which should act as a guide for the overall mark which should fall within
the mark range for each standard of performance.
Mark – Range Comment
91-100 The referee was extremely accurate in decision making and very successfully
controlled the game using management and communication skills to create an
environment of fair play, adding real value to the game.
81-90 The referee was very accurate in decision making and successfully controlled the game
using management and communication skills to create an environment of fair play.
71 - 80 The referee was accurate in decision making and controlled the game well,
communicating with the players, making a positive contribution towards fair play.
61-70 The referee was reasonably accurate in decision making, controlled the game quite
well and communicated with players, establishing a reasonable degree of fair play.
51-60 The referee had some shortcomings in the level of accuracy of decision making and
control, with only limited success in communicating with the players resulting in variable
fair play.
50 The referee had significant shortcomings in the level of accuracy of decision making
and below and control with poor communication with the players which resulted in low levels of fair
play
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 and 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
completing the appropriate box on the marking form. It must include comments which could help improve the
referee’s future performances. 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”, are not necessarily comprehensive and need not be answered individually. It is, however, worth
considering them before committing yourself to a mark for the referee.
Page 32 of 50CONTROL 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 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 of 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.
Don’t mark the referee down unfairly because your team was unlucky and lost the game or some disciplinary
action was taken against your players.

Page 34 of 50CHILD PROTECTION
1. Any act, statement, conduct or other matter which harms a child or children, or poses or may pose a
risk of harm to a child or children, shall constitute behaviour which is improper and brings the game into
disrepute.
2. In these Regulations the expression “Offence” shall mean any one or more of the offences contained in
Schedule 1 to the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 and any other criminal offence which
reasonably causes The Association to believe that the person accused of the offence poses or may
pose a risk of harm to a child or children.
3. Upon receipt by The Association of:
3.1 notification that an individual has been charged with an Offence; or
3.2 notification that an individual is the subject of an investigation by the
Police, Social Services or any other authority relating to an Offence; or
3.3 any other information which causes The Association reasonably to believe
that a person poses or may pose a risk of harm to a child or children then
The Association shall have the power to order that the individual be
suspended from all or any specific football activity for such period and on
such terms and conditions as it thinks fit.
4. In reaching its determination as to whether an order under Regulation 3 should be made The
Association shall give consideration, inter alia, to the following factors:
4.1 whether a child is or children are or may be at risk of harm;
4.2 whether the matters are of a serious nature;
4.3 whether an order is necessary or desirable to allow the conduct of any
investigation by The Association or any other authority or body to proceed
unimpeded.
5. The period of an order referred to in 3 above shall not be capable of lasting beyond the date upon which
any charge under The Rules of The Association or any Offence is decided or brought to an end.
6. Where an order is imposed on an individual under Regulation 3 above, The Association shall bring and
conclude any proceedings under the Rules of The Association against the person relating to the matters
as soon as reasonably practicable.
7. Where a person is convicted, or is made the subject of a caution in respect of an Offence, that shall
constitute a breach of the Rules of The Association and The Association shall have the power to order
the suspension of the person from all or any specific football activity for such a period (including
indefinitely) and on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit.
8. For the purposes of these Regulations, The Association shall act through its Council or any Committee
or Sub-Committee thereof, including the Board.
9. Notification in writing of an order referred to above shall be given to the person concerned and/or any
Club with which he is associated as soon as reasonably practicable.
10. The applicable standard of proof shall be the civil standard, of the balance of probability. The more
serious the allegation taking into account the nature of the misconduct alleged and the context of the
case the greater the burden of evidence required to find the matter proved. Save that for charges
pursuant to The Football Association’s Child Protection Policy, where the welfare and protection of
children shall be paramount and the test shall be whether more likely than not.
