Section 1. Registration Required Prior To Assignment

No one shall officiate as a referee or assistant referee in any match under the sanction or jurisdiction (direct or indirect) of the United States Soccer federation who is not registered with the Federation for the current year unless that person is a visiting foreign referee who has been properly accredited by his or her national association.

Section 2. Unregistered Referee in Emergency

If, because of unforeseen circumstances, a currently registered referee is unable to officiate or does not appear for an assigned match, a person may then be designated at match time to act as referee in the emergency for that one match.

Section 3. Use of Club Assistant Referees

When neutral assistant referees are not assigned or fail to appear for a match as assigned, the match referee may seek the assistance of club assistant referees whose duties shall be as delegated to them by the referee.
