AVAILABILITY OF REFEREES

Question:
If the Home team of a scheduled competitive league match fails to provide referees, is there a time limit the visiting team has to wait for referee’s to arrive? And if they are not provided does the match end with a draw or forfeit for either team.

USSF answer (March 31, 2008):
This is not covered by the Laws of the Game. It is a matter for the competition authority to determine.
