OVERVIEW

Under USSF REFEREE RESOURCES, TheAssignor.com has provided you with several categories (web pages) to find information you are seeking. Each of these pages will contain a list of resources that are directly linked to specific USSoccer.com pages where you will be able to view and/or download the document to your personal files.

This book of Advice to Referees is specifically intended to give USSF referees, assistant referees and
fourth officials a reliable compilation of those international and national guidelines remaining in force,
as modified or updated. It is not a replacement for the Laws of the Game, nor is it a "how to" book
on refereeing. It is an official statement of Federation interpretations of the Laws. Affiliated leagues,
associations, competitions, and officials must implement them to the fullest extent possible.
Participants in affiliated matches must not impose personal, unsupported, or unofficial interpretations of
any provisions of the Laws of the Game. If a point is not made in this Advice, look first to the relevant
Law or Laws of the Game for the answer.
