Notes for Wiltshire FA Referees:

The Information that Referees will need to enable forms to be completed is shown below:

1) The Wiltshire County FA Ltd form may be used when reporting to Wiltshire County FA Ltd or any other County FA in the Country (England) - please use the drop-down facility (in the 'Word' document version) when completing the form (to get the correct County).

2) * The FA Form must only be used when reporting to the FA for "Full" Member Clubs - this includes all Conference, Southern League & Ryman League Clubs, but not Western League Clubs, unless they are "Full" Members of the FA. The form should also be used for any Youth Teams directly connected to the "Full" Member Club. If you're not sure give the Wiltshire County FA Ltd Hon. Discipline Secretary a call.

3) The FA Code box has been omitted from input in the Wiltshire FA Form - this is deliberate, as this field is not required. The FA Code is only required when reporting directly to the FA London (see above *).

4) When entering Club details, please ensure you also include which Team? - e.g. example 1st, Reserves, Youth, U18, U16 team etc.

5) You should only use the multi-caution form for Cautions in 11-a-side matches - however if you happen to Caution a player and later dismiss him for a second Cautionable offence then you should use the current misconduct report forms to report both the original caution and the dismissal - in these cases please do not enter the details of either the original or second caution (dismissal) on the new forms!!.

6) You should send the forms to the relevant County FA or The Football Association (whichever is applicable) - Where you caution players from teams from different Counties in the same game (e.g. one team is affiliated to Wiltshire and the other team is affiliated to Gloucestershire), a copy should be sent to both County FA's involved (with all of the cautions on them) - if you don't have an address please contact your FA County Referees' Appointments Secretary for details - some County addresses may be found in the County Handbook

7) A list of NPD Numbers was emailed to all Referees in Wiltshire by the Referees' Appointments Secretary on 16 Aug 04. An NPD number is not your FAMOA number, but a number assigned to Referees by their County FA. The NPD (National Participants Database) number is required for completion of the Misconduct Report Form. An NPD number is unique to an individual Referee and is held on the new County Administration System (CAS).
The NPD number should appear alongside a Referee's details in their County FA handbooks.

Note from Mark Ives: County Business Development Manager, The Football Association:
If you are sending the form to a County Association please use your NPD number which is the County Registration number and is different than the FAMOA number. The FA regulations have been amended, and approved by FA Council, to permit the reporting of misconduct on these forms at all levels of the game.

If your report is for the Football Association please use the FAMOA number.

8) All other misconduct, sending offs, misconduct by Club Officials etc should still be reported using the old style forms.

9) Please read the notes on the new multi-caution forms, they are self-explanatory

10) If you have any problems please give contact your County Discipline Secretary (for Wiltshire this is Mark Edmonds, Hon Discipline Secretary), or contact your County Referees' Appointment Secretary.

11) When reporting players from Wiltshire County FA Affiliated Clubs, the new multi-caution forms can be sent via email to Wiltshire County FA Ltd - please send to edmondsm.wiltsfa@btinternet.com - you will receive an acknowledgement of receipt email in return - if you do not receive an acknowledgement within a couple of days please contact Mark Edmonds, Hon Discipline Secretary, Wiltshire County FA Ltd on 01980 842153.

Note: Down Ampney, who play in the Wiltshire County League, Junior Division are affiliated to Gloucestershire County FA.

Notes:

New FA multi-caution reports for use in England were issued by tFA in August 2004. There has been a considerable change in the manner in which Referees at all levels of the game can report misconduct of players on the field of play. From the start of the 2004-2005 Season, as an alternative (and in addition) to the traditional misconduct report forms, Referees will be able to report misconduct by using a new FA multi-caution form.

Discipline

Referees in England can report misconduct by using the following forms available from the FA web site:

Multi Caution match report form (Introduced in season 2004/2005)
Standard Misconduct Report form template

Multi Caution match report form:

The Multi Caution match report form was developed and approved by The Football Association England, and permits all cautions from a single game to be reported on one form, rather than on a separate form for each caution.

Complete 1 form and distribute 1 copy to the appropriate Association giving details of the fixture, details of the player cautioned and code for the offence that has been committed, (i.e. Cl to C7).
Textual details of the offence, or details of words used in relation to dissent by word or action are no longer required.
The Multi Caution form is to be used for Cautions only.
A copy of the Multi Caution form needs to be sent to each County FA that 'IS affected. Therefore. It is the responsibility of the Referee to photocopy the form and send to each appropriate Football Association. When sending a copy to each County FA, include details of all of the cautions on one form. In other words, all of the cautions occurring in the game must be listed.
Include Team details on the form. (i.e. 1st Reserves, U18, U17 etc).
If a player receives 2 Cautions in a game, leading to a sending off, it should not be reported on the Multi Caution form. Use Standard Misconduct Report form instead.
Players Sent Off or other reports of misconduct need to be reported individually on the Standard Misconduct Report.

The Multi Caution form is available from 2 main sources:

Any County Football Association
The FA.Com - A PDF version of the Multi Caution form is available from wwwTheFA.com

In addition, an electronic version of the Multi Caution form, created in Microsoft Excel is available from The FA.Com. This will enable the Referee to complete the form electronically and submit to the appropriate Association by Email.

For Referees who still wish to use the Standard Misconduct report form for reporting cautions individually, then this will also be permitted.

Standard Misconduct Report form template

An electronic version of the Standard Misconduct report form has been created in Microsoft Excel and can be downloaded from www.TheFA.com. This will enable the Referee to complete the form electronically and submit to the appropriate Association by Email.

Please note that only the approved templates may be used by Referees and not any personally designed electronic forms. All Counties will accept FA designed forms.

On-line Reporting

All registered Referees will eventually have the ability through either The FA website, www.TheFA.Com or an approved County website to enter misconduct online. These reports will be automatically submitted to the appropriate County Association on completion. A copy of the report will be saved in the Referees personal file. Additional functionality, including the ability to update personal details directly through the system, are also planned. It is hoped that Referees will benefit from these developments in both an improved efficient reporting process. We as ever would welcome your feedback on these developments. Please Email Mark.Ives@TheFA.com with any observations.

Questions:

Q1: What email address do I use to submit the report?
A1: The email address for submitting misconduct reports to The FA is Discipilne@TheFA.com.
For County Football Associations, it is discipline@countyfa.com when "countyfa" 'is the appropriate County Association (e.g. discipline@essexfa.com).

Q2: What is my NPID number?
A2: This is the unique county registration number for an individual Referee. The NPD (National Participants Database) number is required for completion of the Misconduct Report Form. An NPD number is unique to an individual Referee and is held on the new County Administration System (CAS). The NPD number should appear alongside a Referee's details in their County FA handbooks.
