SPORTS REGULATIONS This handbook is meant to supplement, not replace, the information in the sports regulations in the Pac-12 Handbook. The men’s regulations are SPR 11, and women’s soccer regulations are SPR 12. The current Pac-12 Handbook can be downloaded from the Pac-12 website by clicking here.

ARTIFICIAL NOISEMAKERS/MUSIC The NCAA Playing Rules have changed for 2018 to permit bands to play at any time during the game. See NCAA Playing Rule 5.6.9.1 and 5.6.9.2 and relevant approved rulings. The Pac-12 Conference regulations allow whatever is permissible under NCAA Playing Rules.

CANCELLATION OF MATCHES The Conference staff liaison must be consulted prior to cancellation of any Conference matches, or any matches that are scheduled for Pac-12 Networks.

In the event that a scheduled match is cancelled due to weather or other factors, the Coordinator, in conjunction with Conference staff, will determine the appropriate compensation due to the officials.

EJECTIONS AND SUSPENSIONS The Pac-12 holds its coaches and student–athletes to the highest standards of sportsmanship.

If a player, coach, or other team personnel receives a red card during a match, the Referee will follow the procedures in the current NCAA Rules and Interpretations.

Note that a change in the NCAA Playing Rules for 2018 requires that an ejected player, coach, or bench personnel must leave the venue and be out of sight and sound for the remainder of the contest. Players serving a subsequent game suspension will now be permitted in the team area, provided he/she is not in uniform.

In women’s soccer, the Conference office maintains a list of yellow and red cards for each player and coach by reviewing box scores online.

If warranted, the Commissioner may take additional action (private or public reprimand, suspensions, or fines) in the event of behavior that does not conform to Conference standards.

EVALUATIONS Each head coach has the opportunity to submit an evaluation of officials on the Arbiter website (www.Arbiter.com). Information about accessing the evaluations will be sent directly to the head coaches.

GAME CLOCK Per agreement by the coaches, game clocks should count up, if possible. Clocks will start at 00:00 at the start of the game and count up (to 45:00 in the first half, 90:00 in the second half).

GAME VIDEO VidSwap is the required video exchange platform for men’s and women’s soccer. The respective exchange policies can be found in the Pac-12 Handbook. The Conference will also provide game officials with access to video of all men’s and women’s soccer games through VidSwap. Institutions are not required to provide game video directly to the referees.

Note: Institutions are required to continue video recording of the field until the teams and officials have left the area. This is to be able to provide footage in the event of a post-game incident. as of 7/24/18 6 PAC-12 SOCCER ADMINISTRATION HANDBOOK

INSTANT REPLAY/VIDEO REVIEW The NCAA Playing Rules permit instant replay in soccer in limited circumstances. The Conference is not requiring implementation of instant replay for soccer in 2018, although institutions are free to provide it if the requirements can be met. Hosts planning to provide video review capabilities should carefully review NCAA Playing Rule 5.7.

New this year, the game referee will verify with home events management prior to each game if video replay is available. Mutual agreement of the coaches is no longer required in order to use video replay.

These situations are eligible for video review: determining whether a goal has been scored; identifying players for disciplinary matters; determining whether a fight occurred and identifying all participants; and (new this year) determining whether violent behavior occurred and identifying all participants.

Pac-12 Networks will not have a replay monitor available at the scorer’s table, nor do the Networks use cameras positioned at the goal line. Thus, in games broadcast by Pac-12 Networks, institutions should not expect to have television video available for replay use (as may be the case in other sports).

NCAA PLAYING RULES The 2018 NCAA Playing Men’s & Women’s Soccer Playing Rules can be downloaded (for free) from the NCAA website (by clicking here). It is suggested that events management have a copy of the current NCAA Rules Book on site for games.

A summary of the 2018-19 Men’s & Women’s Soccer Playing Rules changes are attached at the end of this document.

OFFICIALS Arbiter & Assignments The Pac-12 Coordinator of Officiating will make all officiating assignments for men’s and women’s soccer games hosted at Pac-12 sites, to include fall and spring games, exhibitions, and scrimmages where officials are desired. The assigned officials and observer can be found on the Arbiter website (www.arbitersports.com). All designated event managers have been added to Arbiter for their respective sports. All assignments, and contact information for the officials and observers, can be found on the Arbiter website.

Event managers should review the schedule information on Arbiter periodically and notify the Conference staff liaison (Wong or Dawson) immediately if there are errors or omissions.

If you experience difficulties with Arbiter, please contact Jamie Alfieri at the Pac-12 office.

Amenities for Officials Soccer officials must be provided with the standard Pac-12 amenities (see AR-6-5-a in the Pac-12 Handbook). This means beverages (water and Gatorade preferred), sandwich or its equivalent post-game, locker room and shower facilities, timing sheets, and two complementary admissions via a gate list.

Arrival at the Match Site Officials are required to be at the game site (in the locker room), a minimum of 90 minutes before the scheduled start.

Fees & Expenses Soccer officials receive fees and expenses as determined by the Pac-12 Commissioner; these are outlined in the Pac- 12 Handbook. The game fees are $310 per match for the center referee, $175 for each of the assistant referees, and $100 for the fourth (table) official. Expenses vary based on distance from site and mode of transportation. A per diem of $45 (no other expenses) will be provided for the fourth official. as of 7/24/18 7 PAC-12 SOCCER ADMINISTRATION HANDBOOK

For spring games, the fee for a regulation length game will be $150 for the center referee and $100 for the assistants, with no expenses.

Payment amounts for each match are listed in Arbiter. Officials will be paid through the ArbiterPay system; institutions are not responsible for payment on site. Questions about the payments should be directed to Cheryl Wong (women’s soccer) or Chris Dawson (men’s soccer).

Guests for Officials & Observers Officials and observers shall be provided with two complimentary admissions via a gate pass list for Pac-12 home contests to which they are assigned. The names of the guests of the officials or observers shall not be required in advance of the contest.

Locker Room The host institution must provide the officials with a secure locker room to be used for the duration of the match. This locker room is for the exclusive use of the game officials and observer (post-game). No visitors (other than Conference staff, the Conference Officiating Coordinator, or Conference observer) should be allowed at any time.

Separate dressing and showering facilities for male and female officials must be provided.

Observers Observers will be assigned to most Pac-12 matches during the season. Their role is to evaluate the performance of the officials, and provide the Coordinator with a game report. Observers should be contacted prior to the contest and provided with parking location, facility access, and other relevant information. Observers are paid by the Conference.

Observers should be provided with a credential that provides them with field and press box access. They are also allowed access to the officials’ locker room post game. During the game, the observers need a seat location that enables them to see and hear the action on the field but does not interfere with the match. This will vary by location due to facility configuration.

Parking Free parking for officials and observers in close proximity to the facility must be provided. Information about parking and other game logistics should be provided ahead of time.

Payments to Officials & Observers Soccer officials will be paid through ArbiterPay on a schedule established by the Conference office. Institutions are not responsible for paying the officials on site. Institutions are later charged back for officiating payments through the Pac- 12 business office.

Pool Reporters In the event of an odd or confusing play or situation, a pool reporter selected by the game management may be escorted to the official’s locker room for interpretation. The reporter should submit any questions (up to 3) in writing. All interpretations, in writing, will be made by the center referee only.

Post-Game At the conclusion of the game, the three field officials are to walk together directly to the scorer’s table, where the referees will sign the scoresheet. The officials should not linger to shake hands with players or coaches as has been the practice in the past. The officials should be escorted off the field and to their locker room. as of 7/24/18 8 PAC-12 SOCCER ADMINISTRATION HANDBOOK

If advisable, to avoid any postgame confrontation, the officials may depart the field directly for the dressing room. In these cases, the event manager will bring the game score sheet to the dressing room for signatures.

Security Officials must be provided with adequate security from the time of their arrival until their departure. Uniformed police officers are not required; however, those providing security must be able to contact others via radio if necessary.

Vanishing Spray Host institutions must provide the referee with vanishing spray (and a holster) for use during the game. One suggested vendor is RefEdge (RefEdge.com)

PRESS BOX Observers may sit in the press box, if space is available. The request for a seat in the press box should be made to the events manager.

TELEVISION GAMES Pac-12 Networks will broadcast 32 men’s and 66 women’s regular season soccer matches this year. The schedule can be found on Pac-12.com. The referee and the fourth official should coordinate with the television “red hat” at the scorer’s table to kick off play for any period.

The Pac-12 Television Manual, which provides useful information for event managers, can be downloaded by clicking here.

TIMING Pre-game timing will be different for TV and non-TV games, and is slightly different for men’s and women’s soccer. Please familiarize yourself with the pre-game timing formats at the end of this document. In particular, please note the timing for doubleheaders when both are televised by Pac-12 Networks.

TOBACCO PRODUCTS The use of all tobacco products by officials, coaches, or student-athletes at the site of competition as well as during other activities, such as press conferences or post-game interviews, is prohibited by NCAA regulations.

UNIFORMS Please consult the Pac-12 Regulations (SPR 11-2-e-(2) for men’s soccer, SPR 12-2-f-(3) for women’s soccer) for designation of uniform colors. Any changes to the colors outlined in the regulations must be mutally agreed by the coaches prior to the contest.

WEATHER ISSUES Hosts are responsible for having available radar or other weather-reporting systems to enable events management, in coordination with officials, to make decisions about continuing play. This could include (for example) suspending play due to lightning danger, and determining if water breaks are required. Information about best practices for heat and related issues can be found in the NCAA Sports Medicine Handbook.

The NCAA Playing Rules (Rule 5.6, Discretionary Power, AR 5.6.1.e) give the referee the discretionary power to allow stoppages in the game due to "extreme heat and humidity." When high temperatures are anticipated at game time, referees have been asked to consult with both head coaches and athletic trainers 60 minutes prior to the start of the game to decide if water breaks will be taken during the game. as of 7/24/18 9 PAC-12 SOCCER ADMINISTRATION HANDBOOK

NCAA SOCCER MAJOR RULES CHANGES

Rule Rule Change and Rationale Rules 1.3.5 and Permit the following as approved markings on the field provided they do not 1.3.6 obscure any of the required field markings and are not in the penalty area: 1. NCAA, team or conference logos, names or abbreviations. 2. Two commercial logos (one in each half of the field), not larger than 15’ by 15’ square. 3. Noncommercial, commemorative logos (e.g., players’ names or numbers for senior day).

Rationale: To provide recognition opportunities for the institutions, as well as advertising and commercial funding opportunities. Rule 1.12.2 Expand the coaching area to within 5 feet from the touch line.

Rationale: To allow coaches better access to observe the game.

Rule 2.1.3 The pressure of the ball must be within 8.5 to 15.6 psi.

Rationale: To align with FIFA’s ball pressure requirements. Rule 2.3 Permit a retake of a penalty kick in the event the ball becomes defective. Exception 2 Rationale: To align with FIFA Laws of the Game and correct an unfair rule which may cause a team to lose possession due to a defective ball.

Rule 4.1.6 Permit an institutional and conference logo/patch and the national flag of the institution on the front or sleeve of the jersey. The logo/patch/flag may not exceed 2¼ square inches.

Rationale: To provide recognition opportunities for the institution and conference and align with other NCAA sports. Rule 4.1.9 Goalkeepers must wear stockings which distinguish them only from opponent’s field players.

Rationale: Changes the rule which required goalkeepers to wear stockings which were different than the opposing goalkeeper.

as of 7/24/18 14 Rules 5.5.1.10 Add to the referee’s pregame duties: Confirming with host game management if and 5.7.1 video review equipment is available. If available, video review will be used.

Rationale: Requiring mutual agreement of the head coaches occasionally created issues and conflict, which resulted in video review not being used. If the equipment is available, it must be used and coaches no longer must mutually agree. Rules 5.6.9.1 Permit bands to play and the use of musical instruments/artificial noisemakers at any and 5.6.9.2 time during the game.

Rationale: To promote game atmosphere. Rule 5.7.3.4 Add “violent behavior” to situations which can be considered for video review.

Rationale: “Violent behavior” may be against anyone not competing for the ball and may be on or off the field of play. Additionally, the ball may be in or out of play. This behavior is frequently not readily seen by the officials and video review will help identify when this type of misconduct has occurred. Rule 8.2.3 Stipulate that an “own” goal cannot be scored directly from a kickoff.

Rationale: To align with FIFA Laws of the Game and the recent rule change permitting the kickoff to go in any direction. Rule 12.7 Require an ejected player, coach or other bench personnel to leave the venue and PENALTY be out of sight and sound. Exception: The athletic trainer is permitted to be in a designated spectator area if he/she is ejected.

Rationale: Currently, ejected personnel are permitted to be in the designated spectator area. Altering this rule reduces potential situations which can exacerbate issues involving misconduct. Rule 12.8.1 Double the period of suspension for the head coach when a player, assistant PENALTY 1 coach or other bench personnel participates in a game while suspended.

Example: A player receives a red card (1 game suspension) and illegally participates in the next regularly scheduled game. Penalty: The term of suspension for the player shall be doubled resulting in the player being suspended for the next two (2) games. Additionally, the head coach shall be suspended for double the enhanced suspension imposed on the player resulting in the head coach being suspended for the next four (4) games.

Rationale: Extends the period of suspension for a head coach when an illegal (card-suspended) player, assistant coach or bench personnel participates in a game to serve as a deterrent for illegally using suspended personnel.

15 as of 7/24/18 2 Extend the period of suspension to four (4) games for the head coach when he/she participates in a game while suspended. Rule 12.8.1 Example: A head coach receives a red card (1 game suspension) and illegally PENALTY 2 participates in the next regularly scheduled game. Penalty: The head coach will be suspended for the next four (4) games. Rationale: Extends the period of suspension for a head coach when he/she illegally participates in a game to serve as a deterrent for participating while suspended.

Rule 12.8.2 Permit a player serving a game suspension to be in the team area, provided he/she is not in uniform.

Rationale: This rule allows the coaching staff to adequately supervise a suspended player. Rule 12.8.3 Prohibit a coach serving a game suspension from appearing in the venue from 60 minutes before the scheduled start of the game until 30 minutes after the game ends. The coach shall remain in an area out of sight and sound.

Rationale: To provide an additional deterrent to illegal actions and reduce the potential for further misconduct. A.R. 13.1.3.d Require an indirect free kick to be retaken if the referee fails to signal that the kick is indirect and the ball is kicked directly into the goal.

Rationale: Clarification to be consistent with the FIFA Laws of the Game.
