Shortened Games

Last Updated on Friday, 30 July 2010 08:29

Due to the short amount of time allowed between games, sometimes games can run late.

It is up to the team on ground control to keep games running on time or as close to time as possible.

A game can only be shortened with the prior approval of the coach and manager of each team before the game starts. A referee cannot shorten a game unless it is done this way. It is not up to the referee to decide to shorten a game once the game is under way.
