To club administrators. Please read
and pass on to all your MJ coaches:
As we are now into our
third week of the MJ season there has been a number of reported issues
with respect to game sheets, envelopes and referee payments that require
attention by MJ coaches.
Game Sheets
Two copies of the
printed game sheets obtained through HaDmin and handed to the referee are mandatory
prior to the start of every MJ game. These game sheets must be
complete in every detail, including all participating players/team officials
names, OS #s, and shirt number. Both copies must be signed by all
participating team officials.
If copies of the game
sheets can not be printed through HaDmin in a timely fashion, hand made copies
of the MJ game sheet will be acceptable. The hand made copies must
also be complete in every detail. Team officials must then bring the
inability to print the game sheets to the attention of the MJ league.
In all situations,
coaching staff MUST come to the field with completed game sheets.
The referees are being instructed not to start any MJ game where team officials
can not produce COMPLETE copies of game sheets. Teams/Clubs will
be then be subject to league discipline.
Finally, copies of the
game sheets that are given back to the team officials must be retained by the
team until at least the end of the current outdoor season.
Envelopes
It is the
responsibility of the home team to provide the referee with a self-addressed
and stamped UNSEALED #10 envelope. The league has
already provided the unsealed, self-addressed #10 envelopes to all MJ
coaches. It is not the responsibility of the referees to address or
stamp the envelopes nor can team officials provide money to referees to make
stamp purchases on their behalf. Referees are now required to report all
instances where the proper process is not followed and the MJ league will
begin to initiate disciplinary measures to ensure compliance.
Referee Fees
Referees MUST be paid
(in cash) prior to the start of all MJ games. All referees must be
paid in the exact denominations and must NOT be asked to provide
change. Referees are being instructed to not start an MJ game where
they are not paid in cash with the correct denominations.
Should the game not get
started for any reason, the referee(s) are required to return the fee in full
to the home team official. Referee will then solicit the league for
their half-game fees. Any MJ game that is started requires full
payment to the referee(s) regardless of whether the game goes to full time or
not.
Thank you for your
immediate attention to these issues.
