Final Game Scores – Scores should be reported to Assignor by telephone or email no later than Tuesday evening after a Sunday game. This information is posted on SISL’s web site and it is critical that this be done in a timely manner.
Incident Report – Should be submitted by Tuesday evening. SISL allows players to appeal ‘red cards’ to the Disciplinary Committee. Reports must be available Wednesdays for Disciplinary Committee meetings. Make sure the reports are filled out properly and reason for the card is clearly understood. This allows the committee to easily uphold a referee’s decision.
Any red cards that are handed out during a game need to be phoned into the Assignor by the evening of that game.
