3.1 MISCONDUCT TOWARD GAME OFFICIALS

See the United States Soccer Federation Administrative Rules Number 3041 and the Referee Administrative Handbook for a description of misconduct toward a game official and procedures for reporting this misconduct.

If you are involved in a case of misconduct toward a game official there are several steps that you need to follow:

• Remain Calm. Never Strike Back!
• Get the details down on paper, and obtain all the witness names and ID numbers. These could be your fellow referees, players and/or spectators. Get medical attention if needed.
• Notify the SRA, the STSR office and/or the President of the State Association of the event by telephone as soon as you return home or are able to do so -- the sooner, the better. The contact information is listed below.
• Write your report in detail.
• If you have any questions about writing the report, please contact STSR.
• Send your written report and supporting reports from witnesses (e.g., ARs) to the following on the next business day (within 24 hours). For adult games - to the SRA and TSSAS
  For youth games - to the SRA, SYRA, and STYSA
