14. JUDGES DECISIONS ARE FINAL.

Players are not allowed to argue with any judge. Judges will be happy to discuss any call after the game. Referees should not engage in an argument with the players over any subject matter. Avoid this at all costs. An argument is a challenge to your authority as a referee. Never raise your voice or verbally demean the player. Tell them your decision is final and if there is need for further discussion you will gladly do so after the game in the Registration Area. If the player continues to press the argument/discussion you should ask him/her "Are you violating Safety Rule 14 and arguing with me?" If their response is yes then their armband should be pulled and the player should be informed that they will be sitting out two games for a safety rules violation and that if they continue after this they will be expelled for the day.

Any unsafe condition created by the guest or any unsafe act performed by the guest that in the safety judgment of the judge or referee would result in any injury to the guest or others, the violator will be suspended from the game or expelled from the field for the day.

ANY VIOLATION OF THE SAFETY RULES WILL RESULT IN THE OFFENDING PLAYER BEING REMOVED FROM PLAY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY.
