Assistant Referees

AO3.5.
AO3.6.
It is recommended that there be a minimum of 8 assistant
referees distributed evenly across the Penalty,
Start/Finish, centre and Changeover lines. This may
however be varied at the discretion of the referee, taking
into account the number of riders in each heat and
whether it is a team, pair or individual competition.
Assistant referees must not allow their attention to
wander. Start/Finish and Changeover line referees must
check to ensure that changeovers happen behind the line
and that all relevant rules are obeyed. Centre line
referees must check mid field procedures and watch the
linkup in pairs games. Penalty line referees must check
that riders who are sent back to the Penalty line remain
behind the line when the race is started as well as
watching for rule infringements behind the Start/Finish
line during the race.
In the event of an infringement of the rules that is not
corrected, an assistant referee raises his/her flag at the
end of the race to attract the attention of the Referee.
He/she then conveys to the Referee the error of the
relevant rider(s) and the Referee then decides what
action should be taken.
Assistant referees should assist with the equipment in
between races.
Assistant referees should wear coloured tabards and
carry a red flag whilst officiating.
Assistant Referees should be at least 18 years of age on
the date of the competition
Equipment Marshall and Arena Party
AO4.1.
It is the responsibility of the equipment marshal to ensure
that all equipment is set out the same for all lanes. The
referee will not start the race until given clearance by the
equipment marshal.
