I Issued A Red Card. Now What?
You are responsible for properly filling out the necessary paperwork with in 48 hours. Each league has its own procedures for dealing with ejections, however referees need to do the following:
1. Keep the player pass and mail it to the league with the game sheet.
2. Properly fill out the league’s game report.
3. Include a supplemental form that concretely explains the details that lead to
the ejection. The official USSF form can be found by clicking this link.
4. If there was referee assault, it needs to be reported to the State Referee
Administrator. It would also be good to notify the president of ASRA to advise
and assist you as well.
