be reversed then this must occur even if the fixture has already been reversed. (This may mean that

teams play both fixtures at home or away). If either manager refuses to play at another venue the

Disciplinary Committee will ask for a written explanation from the manager concerned. If the Disciplinary

Committee decide that the written explanation invalid or it is not received, they may award the game to

the opposing team.

When a fixture is reversed due to the condition of the pitch or adverse weather then the same kick off

time should be kept unless a change is agreed with the Referees Secretary. The original named home

team is responsible for phoning in the result, sending in the match card and paying the appointed

officials.

Valid or Invalid Postponements

The Discipline Committee shall consider all postponed matches and decide whether or not the

postponement was valid or invalid. If valid the match will be rearranged. If invalid the team that caused

APPENDICES

1. Guide to Referee Marking

The following questions focus on the key areas of a referee’s performance. They are intended as an “aide memoire”, are not necessarily comprehensive and need not be answered individually. It is, however, worth considering them

before committing yourself to a mark for the referee. Always try to be objective when marking. Judge the

performance over the whole game. Don’t be too influenced by one particular incident. Don’t mark the referee down unfairly because your team was unlucky and lost the game or some disciplinary action was taken against your

players.

CONTROL AND DECISION MAKING

• How well did the referee control the game?

• Were the players’ actions recognised correctly? • Were the Laws applied correctly?

• Were all incidents dealt with efficiently/effectively?

• Were all the appropriate sanctions applied correctly?

• Was the referee always within reasonable distance of incidents?

• Was the referee well positioned to make critical decisions, especially in and around the penalty area?

• Did the referee understand the players’ positional intentions and keep out of the way accordingly?

• Did the referee demonstrate alertness and concentration throughout the game?

• Did the referee apply the use of the advantage to suit the mood and temperature of the game?

• Was the referee aware of the players’ attitude to advantage? • Did the referee use the assistants effectively?

• Did the officials work as a team, and did the referee lead and manage them to the benefit of the game?

COMMUNICATION AND PLAYER MANAGEMENT

• How well did the referee communicate with the players during the game?

• Did the referee’s level of involvement/profile suit this particular game? • Did the referee understand the players’ problems on the day – e.g. difficult ground/weather conditions?

• Did the referee respond to the changing pattern of play/mood of players?

• Did the referee demonstrate empathy for the game, allowing it to develop in accordance with the tempo of

the game?

• Was the referee pro-active in controlling of the game?

• Was the referee’s authority asserted firmly without being officious? • Was the referee confident and quick thinking?

• Did the referee appear unflustered and unhurried when making critical decisions?

• Did the referee permit undue questioning of decisions?

• Did the referee deal effectively with players crowding around after decisions/incidents?

• Was effective player management in evidence?

• Was the referee’s body language confident and open at all times? • Did the pace of the game, the crowd or player pressure affect the referee negatively?

2. Results Reporting (via SMS)

In order to ensure that all match results are submitted on time (and help clubs avoid fines) and to help reduce the

amount of manual work by League officials, all results will now be reported via the Full-Time SMS Text Message

system.

SMS Text Message During each game (normally 15 minutes after kick-off), the Full-Time system will send an SMS Text Message to each

registered mobile number, reminding them to send in the result of the game.

For example:

The SMS Text Message does look a bit confusing and full of information, but don’t worry, sending a response is straightforward.

Replying to the SMS Text Message When the game has finished and before the League result reporting deadline arrives, BOTH home and away clubs

should report the score by replying to their text message.

1. League Games Most teams will be able to send just a simple reply, giving the score for the game, home team first, away team

second, and separated by a hyphen. For example, if the score was Home 2 Away 1, the reply would be:

2. League Games - multiple team admin If you are responsible for sending results for more than one team, then you will be asked to include a team code (see

Team Codes section below) to identify the correct fixture/team. The team code will be included in the SMS Text

Message (example highlighted in yellow below):

So your reply would be the score (using format H-A) and your team code, for example:

FA Full-Time Results: AB12 v KY12,

Sun 16 Oct 10:30. Reply H-A score:

e.g. 2-2 3-3 AET 3-1 PENS

2-1

FA Full-Time Results: AB12 v KY12, Sun 16

Oct 10:30. Reply H-A score and code AB12:

e.g. 2-2 AB12 2-2 AB12 3-3 AET 3-1 PENS

2-1 AB12

Key to highlighted sections

Date/time of fixture

Format of reply requested

OMYFLHandbook version 1.1 (Sep 18) 60 2018-2019

3. Cup Games These games may involve extra time and penalties, and the SMS Text Message shows how this information should be

included if appropriate (see green highlighted text below). For example:

When reporting the result for a Cup game, only include the relevant information. For example (again, include the

team code if it is requested):

Submitting score only Submitting score and team code

result in normal time

result after extra time

result after penalties

4. Postponements/Abandoned games These are treated the same as normal scores, so you would enter P-P for postponed and A-A for abandoned (plus the

team code if requested, as noted above for multiple team admin). For example:

Submitting score only Submitting score and team code

postponed game

abandoned game

5. Switched games If a game is switched to your opponent’s ground or a neutral ground, please make sure you report the score the

correct way round. If you are down as the home side on Full-Time, please put your score first and if you are the

away side on Full-Time, please put your score second (irrespective of whether you played at home or away or at a

neutral venue).

6. Futsal games and Trophy Events You may receive SMS Text Messages for Futsal games and Trophy Events – you can ignore ones for Futsal and U7-U8

Trophy events, but you must reply to SMS Text Messages for U9, U10 and U11 Trophy event fixtures.

FA Full-Time Results: AB12 v

KY12, Sun 16 Oct 10:30. Reply H-

A score and code AB12: e.g. 2-2

AB12 3-3 AET 3-1 PENS

2-1 2-1 AB12

2-2 2-3 AET 2-2 AB12 2-3 AET

2-2 3-3 AET 3-1 PENS 2-2 AB12 3-3 AET 3-1 PENS

Team Codes

Each team has been given a unique four digit code to identify it in the system. For example

AYY9 Abingdon Youth Yellow Under 9s

KY12 Kidlington Youth Under 12s

MS08 Marston Saints Under 8s

Important Notes To Remember

Do NOT include any extra information in your reply to the SMS text message other than the information requested,

as it will cause errors in the Full-Time system.

Do NOT try to submit the result before you receive the SMS text message.

If the SMS text message asks for a team code, make sure you add it after the score.

Please tell the League asap if you change your mobile number! Contact Paul Lyon ([email protected]) or Rob

Roslyn ([email protected]).

Please tell the League if a fixture is incorrect on Full-Time before the game is played. Contact Paul Lyon

([email protected]).

Remember that the SMS score is processed by a computer, so the format needs to be correct.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I have not received a text message from Full-Time requesting the result. What do I do?

Text the result to Paul Lyon (07876 682501), stating that no Full-Time SMS has come through. Please also confirm

the correct mobile number for SMS results reporting for your team so we can check the system has the correct

number.

I have received the SMS text message. Do I have to respond immediately?

The reply can be sent any time after the final whistle has been blown for the game and before the standard deadline

for reporting results. However, if you report the score immediately after the game, then it is one thing less to sort

out later.

I have sent in the result by SMS but it has not appeared on Full-Time. Should I send the message again?

No. There could be a short time delay whilst the system processes all the scores and adds them to the system. Also,

there may be a conflict in the system if the scores sent by the two teams are different – this will be resolved by a

League Administrator after checking the match card.

Page 64: YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE - Benson United...This competition is sanctioned by the Oxfordshire Football Association (OFA) Handbook Revisions 1.0 Original version 17 Aug 2018 OMYFLHandbook

OMYFLHandbook version 1.1 (Sep 18) 62 2018-2019

I am submitting more than one result. How does the system know which game I mean?

If you are submitting the results for more than one game on the same day, you will need to include the unique team

code for your team after the score, e.g. 1-0 SS12. The unique team codes should be in the SMS from Full-Time but

we will circulate a list of team codes to all clubs.

I have tried to reply to the SMS but my phone says it is not being delivered. Should I send the message again?

Yes, you can try again. If you are approaching the reporting deadline and your phone has still not delivered the

reply, send a separate text or email to Paul Lyon with the result. Please also use this method if your phone is not

working or has been lost/stolen (in addition, remember to let us know if you want to change to a different mobile

number going forward).

Does the away side have to reply to the Full-Time SMS?

Yes, both teams have to text the score for each game to ensure that the score is correct.

What happens if I make a mistake sending the score?

Let Paul Lyon know of the error, along with the correct score, and it will be updated manually.

What happens if I don’t reply to the Full-Time SMS?

If you don’t submit a score (either via the SMS Text Message or to Paul in cases where the SMS message does not arrive) and you have not reported any problems to the League, then your club will be fined for not submitted a

result.

What about goal scorers/match reports (U12-U16 only)?

Please do not include the goal scorers or match reports in your SMS reply to Full-Time.

Goal scorers should be sent by the home side only (as happens currently) via separate text or email to Paul Lyon (if

you send the match card via email/text, then that will include the goal scorers). Match reports should be sent to

Paul in the usual way via email.

3. Match Statistics Reporting (Full-Time)

To access Full-Time, you will be sent an email from the system, asking to create a username and password. Please

remember these, as you will need them throughout the season.

When you log in for the first time, you will be asked to accept the FA Full-Time terms and conditions of use. Please

tick the box and press Continue.

When you log in future, go to the OMYFL Full-Time site and click the Sign In link in the top right or use

http://fulltime-admin.thefa.com/gen/Login.do You will see a standard login page asking for your username and

password.

OMYFLHandbook version 1.1 (Sep 18) 64 2018-2019

Once logged in, you will arrive at the Admin Home screen (see below)

To enter a result, press the Result tab in the blue menu bar at the top of the screen. You will then be taken to the

Team Admin Result Entry screen. Here you will see the fixtures for your team from the last seven days and for the

next seven days (if you are a team admin for several teams, then you will see the fixtures for each of these teams).

The match result will have been entered automatically from the SMS Results text message that you will have sent in

earlier (or at least should have!).

[Editor note: image below taken from blank system so no result entered].

If a League referee was appointed, please enter a mark (0-100) for their performance. As in previous season, if you

mark a referee 60 or less, you must sent a report to the Referees Secretary.

If someone other than a League referee officiated on the match, see note below

OMYFLHandbook version 1.1 (Sep 18) 65 2018-2019

In this screen, press the blue Enter Statistics button under your team (remember both home and away teams must

do this).

Before entering the statistics, you will see a Respect screen asking you various quick questions which will enable the
