Reporting Match Scores New procedures for 2007 Starting with the Spring 2007 season all match scores are to be reported online by the Home team. Continue... Sportsmanship Ratings  As covered at the preseason meeting, ODSL no longer has the referees use the 10 point system to rate the teams for sportsmanship.  Now the referees are asked to rate separately the players, coaches, and spectators for sportsmanship on a scale from +2 to -2.  +2 being excellent, +1 good, 0 average, -1 poor, and -2 being unacceptable.  The referees submit this information in their online match report.  You can see a team’s averages on these points by passing your cursor over the figures in the SP_AVG column on the standings page.  These ratings help the league reinforce the ODSL Codes of Conduct.  They are also used as a tie breaker in the Randy Rawls Sportsmanship Award voting. The League will apply additional scrutiny to any teams that consistently run a negative average. Total cautions (yellow cards) and total ejections (red cards) are tracked separately under the TC and TE columns.  These also figure into the Randy Rawls Awards.   New Procedures for the Referee Report Card The ODSL Referee Report Card has been redesigned for the Fall 2008 and subsequent seasons.  As part of new ODSL procedures, prior to the match, the home team must fill out the top part of the card and paste their team roster to the card.  They must then present the card to the away team for them to paste their team roster to the card. The home team must then present the card to the Center referee.  The card should be given to the referee in its complete form.  Do not tear off the bottom portion before giving it to the referee as it has instructions for the referee on ODSL Laws of the Game and also instructions for how to file the match report online.
