Lightening Protocol:
Player’s safety is one of the most important jobs of the officiating crew.
When any official sees lightening in the area of the field, the official will call an Officials Time Out. The Head Official will notify both Captains to take their players from the field and wait in a secure area or their cars.
The Head Officials will note the quarter and time, the down and distance and the spot of the ball. This will be noted on the back of the card. The game will be suspended for 30 minutes, and the 30 minute wait will restart after each lightening strike is witnessed.
If the game cannot be resumed. The Head Official will call the game and note the information in assignr and the information will be passed onto the HTFA Executive, who will make a decision on how to proceed.
Inclement Weather:
Its the teams responsibilie to check field status prior to heading to the game. Click below for City of Hamilton Field Closures.
Officiating:
Please, treat them with respect, you do not have to like their calls, but do not swear or make it personal. They are an important and integral part of your game. Abusing officials will not be tolerated.
