6.2 Match Official Reports

(a) In order to ensure BDSFA provides an efficient service to Members under these Regulations, Match
Officials must submit their Match Official Reports to BDSFA matchreports@bdsfa.com as soon as
possible, but no later than 9pm Sunday of the relevant Match or 24 hours for midweek matches. No Determination
of a Body will be quashed or held invalid by reason only of the failure of any Match Official(s) to
comply with this section 6.2(a).
(b) Failure to comply with the requirement set out in section 6.2(a) may result in the Match Official
being demoted for one (1) or more Matches, in the absolute discretion of BDSFA.
(c) Match Official Reports must set out the following:
i. any Red Card Offences and/or Expulsion Offences issued during the Match including the
categorisation of Offences (set out in a Match Official Send–Off/Expulsion Report)
(Prescribed Form 02); and
ii. any serious incidents which took place (set out in a Match Official Incident Report)
(Prescribed Form 03);
(d) Match Official Incident Reports should include details concerning any misbehaviour on the part of
Spectators.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, a Body is not bound by the categorisation of any Offence by a Match
Official.
(f) In order to ensure BDSFA provides a fair and transparent system to Members under these
Regulations and to assist the Bodies in arriving at their decisions, in completing Match Official
Reports, Match Officials must:
i. Complete their Match Official Report independent of any other Match Officials involved
in the Match and of any potential witnesses;
ii. As far as reasonably possible, clearly state what they actually saw and/or heard in relation
to the incident(s) and clearly distinguish that from what others told them occurred;
iii. As far as reasonably possible, in respect of words spoken by a Participant, record those in
the first person using the words actually spoken; and
iv. As far as reasonably possible, state how they identified the Participant.
(g) A Match Official may seek assistance from a member of a Referees Body in completing a Match
Official Report provided that member was not a Match Official involved in the Match and is not
otherwise a witness to the incident(s) the subject of the Match Official Report.
