Referee Equipment

Brant County Branch requires referees to wear the regulated uniform.  This consists of black socks (preferably with white stripes at the top), black shorts (preferably no markings), black short sleeve shirt with white collar and Velcro patch for badge.  For cooler weather a black long sleeve shirt with white collar and Velcro patch for badge or black under apparel like a turtleneck is also acceptable.  

Don't forget your watch, pen/pencil and referee wallet with cards, coin and whistle.  It's also a good idea to bring your FIFA Laws of the Game Book to every match. 

Weather Conditions 

Use the Flash to Bang method to monitor lightning for evacuation of the playing field to a safer environment. With this method the seconds are counted from the time a flash of lightning is seen until a clap of thunder is heard. When this number is 30 seconds or less, evacuation of the field should get under way. Lightning awareness should begin with the first flash of lightning seen or thunder clap heard.

When a match has been stopped seek shelter in a building or vehicle - Never stand under trees, in an open field or under an umbrella or open canopy.

The game should not be restarted until the last clasp of thunder was heard or the last flash of lightning was seen.

“If you can see it (lightning) flee it; if you can hear it (thunder) clear it.”
