It is the Captain’s responsibility to have proper player gallery info online in a timely manner before the start of the season. NO PROPER PICTURE NO PLAY
   
• Unlock goals and get the teams to move the goals in position so the games can start on time. Please do EVERYTHING in your power to get the games started on time. This includes checking in the teams yourself if need be if games are running behind schedule and referee is still reffing game. Have each team move the goals back and lock the them at the conclusion of games
   
• Have a printed copy on hand of BASL rules, tiebreakers, FM responsibilities, FM contacts, Registration forms, and a smartphone on hand at all times when at fields.
   
• For games make sure the fans are on the opposite side of the field as the players (11 v 11 only, other games at FM discretion).
   
• Warn fans if they are disruptive and talk to the team’s captains to have fans warned/removed if warranted.  A team that does not comply with your directive will forfeit the game.
   
• If lightning detector is going off, flashing, or in bad weather alert mode please do everything you can to keep EVERYONE off the field until the weather clears. (Refs nor FM’s have authority to cancel games due to weather.  That call is made by the Operations Manager or a BASL Board Member ONLY)
   
• At the end of games – Get the roster and game reports back from the referee. Make sure that the ref’s names, cards, score, who is here and who is not as well as any other info are legible.  Get Ref’s addresses if the league does not have them or if they have recently changed mailing addresses.
   
• Have the team captains sign the Game Reports!
