A referee shall be allowed a grace period of 15 minutes after the official kickoff time as scheduled with the NJSA State Referee Assignor, to show up to an assigned game
If a referee does not show to the game within the allowed grace period, it will be the team managers responsibility to report to their League of affiliation such no-show, independently if the two teams decide to play the game without the assigned referee.
4106. NO-SHOW BY TEAM
If a team is not present and/or ready to start the game at the time set with the minimum number of players as set above, and unless there is a waiting period established by the Competition or League, it shall be determined to be a NO SHOW.
If both teams are not present and ready to start the game at the time set, and unless there is a waiting period established, both must be dealt with as a NO SHOW.
Any team that not present and/or ready to start the game after the given grace period (or extra time) shall be responsible to pay the assigned referee(s) that was (were) present at the assigned game.

2) If only one Assistant Referee is needed, he shall request to the home team, to supply for an Emergency Assistant.

Teams walking away from a game after an Emergency Referee or Emergency Assistant is accepted, shall be charged as forfeiting the game.
