ACCESSORIES FOR REFEREE EQUIPMENT

 


In almost all sports, the figure of the referee is essential since his function is that the players comply with the rules of the game . To do this, you must also ensure their safety.

The referee, "collegiate" or "referee" is normally distinguished by wearing a different outfit from the rest of the players and will be located in the band . When it comes to professional football, a referee is at the top when it comes to directing matches, hence the search for more enemies than supporters once the game is played. To do your job well, use a number of key accessories that distinguish you.




1. Radio Receiver
The Vokkero Squadra is a two-way radio, but with full duplex communication capabilities. This means that the referees need only to speak; no push-to-talk buttons are required. The fourth official, however, makes use of a PTT setting, apparently so as not to disturb others while dealing with administrators and substitutes. The system has a range of 800 meters and is fully encrypted to prevent eavesdropping.

2. Headphones
Phonak Communications makes the ComCom headset, which is available as a hands-free kit for business phone systems, or even the iPhone. You also need to see an audiologist to obtain ear impressions, which are then sent to Phonak for the manufacture of your headphones. In the end, you get a high-end headphone guaranteed not to fall out of your ear when running.

3. Flags Receiver
The assistant referees use the touch system: The receiver features a curved body in snug better up on his upper arm, and can be configured to vibrate only, beep only, or vibrate and beep. The signal pattern is different for each infraction, so the referee always knows what he is signaling. Conveniently, the receiver turns off only after 2 hours of non-use.

4. Primary Clock
There does not appear to be any standard for a referee's primary timing device. Interestingly, SPINTSO has never been seen on the wrist of a Premier League referee.

5. whistle
In England, it seems that the official option is the Fox 40 Classic, although there is nothing that determines it.

6. Safety rope
Not mandatory but it is being used more and more, although not all use the same model: Acme, Official Sports, and Fox 40.

7. Goal decision clock
When the whole of the ball crosses the entire goal line between the posts and under the crossbar, this watch vibrates and displays the word "goal" in large letters. The goal line technology used in England - Hawkeye - is the same used in professional tennis. A stadium installation of this technology is expensive.

8. Uniform
Each Federation has an official supplier of its referee uniforms. 

9. pens, pencils and cards
Another area where referees seem to have some discretion is with their choice of writing instruments and disciplinary cards. Some use pens, while others prefer pencil. As for the cards, in many cases they are provided by the committees.

10. Aerosol
Spray used by referees to indicate the distance between the ball and the wall in a soccer match. The contents of the can is a white gaseous liquid that disappears after a period of 45 seconds to 2 minutes.




With these elements, the referees are in charge of complying with the rules of the game and ensuring an atmosphere of respect among the players.
