Be the Referee: Video Clip Library
February 20, 2015
This week, MHSAA assistant director Mark Uyl explains MHSAA policy for video submitted to argue an official's call.
Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment - Video Clip Library - Listen
Throughout the year, callers and e-mailers to our office will often complain about an official’s call, and this concerned person will then tell us that they have video to back up their claim.
The policy here at the MHSAA is to not review video tape for the purposes of changing an official’s call. Many times this video that is provided to the MHSAA is from a single angle, and that one angle would never allow us to overturn a call, even if our rules were similar to the college and pro level to allow for instant replay.
We do, however,use that video to put in our video clip library to help officials and others continue to train and learn from different situations.

Be the Referee: Soccer Overtime

Below is this week's segment – Soccer Overtime - Listen
Soccer games in the postseason have one big noticeable difference from the regular season. In the postseason, games cannot end in a tie – so games go to overtime and possibly a shootout.
Here’s how that works:
If the game is tied at the end of regulation, it will go to overtime, which is two 10-minute periods played in its entirety. There is no sudden death or golden goal winner. If there is a winner at the end of the 20 minutes, that team wins and advances to the next round. If there’s still a tie, we move to a shootout.
In the shootout, the teams alternate taking five penalty kicks. If it’s still tied after five kicks, they each kick until the tie is broken.
