1) is it allowed for an AR and center ref to be related?
2) is it allowed for a ref to work a game that his/her child is playing in?
Just curious. Not sure if this is against the rules or if it is just not a good idea.

AR/Center related sounds good to me. Related to one of the teams players/coaches/etc - not so good.
What's the rest of the story?

Center ref was calling someone 'honey bear' during a match. Could not tell if it was a player or the AR.

1) is it allowed for an AR and center ref to be related? 2) is it allowed for a ref to work a game that his/her child is playing in? 1. Yes. Happens often enough. 2. Absolutely not unless it is an emergency situation, both coaches are notified before the game and both coaches agree to accept the situation. If they accept it, they have to indicate so in writing on the game sheets and sign. Once they have accepted, they cannot protest the game based on the fact that the ref has a child playing in the game. Of course the situation you describe may have been neither of these, but sounds pretty funny! |

Actually a ref cannot work a game where they are related to a player - siblings as an example. Refs can be related to each other and work together (parent/child or siblings) but unless it's an emergency situation with no alternative, an official cannot work a game of a relative.
