DOCUMENTATION
At times things happen during the course of a match that officials should keep documented because hours, days, weeks later a question or an investigation into the match may surface and the officials may be asked to provide some details.
A major injury, a natural event (lightning, storms, etc…), a possible concussion, or any disruption to the match, these are some examples of things that may occur while working a game, can lead to 
an early termination of a match, and should be documented.
- Writing good, clear and detailed notes is important.
- Keep it simple, factual and use the Who, What, Where, When and How approach without including any personal opinions, feelings or emotions.
- Also include any witnesses and their contact information.
- A send off or disqualification report is always required documentation when a red card is issued to a player.
- Recording the time and jersey number of a player who scored a goal is another “must do” for the officials.
