Referee Guidelines
There appears to be some confusion in the
use of “Club Linesman” when officiating sanctioned matches in
Alabama.
1. Club Linesmen are authorized to be used
if a Neutral Assistant Referee is unable to be assigned.
2. By footnote, the Club Linesmen is limited to calling in and
out of bounds. However, this is the only official on the field
with that limitation.
3. Both the Referee and the other Assistant Referee must
assume all of the duties and responsibilities assigned
by the Laws of the Game in Laws 5 and 6.
4. We must not make it a practice to limit the responsibilities
of the Neutral Assistant Referee. Both teams will receive the
advantage of the Neutral Assistant Referee (or the converse with
the Club Linesmen) for half of the match which is deemed fair
and equitable by USSF. (Full
