Please do not use the send off reporting functionality on Dribl.

Referees who send off a player in a match must submit an accompanying electronic send off report, including for an R7 send off. It is not sufficient to simply mark that a player was sent off in a match in the MWFA Electronic Match Sheet (EMS).

Referees who have marked that a player was sent off in a match in EMS will be followed up and requested to submit an accompanying electronic send off report.

Submission Procedure

To submit a send off report, referees should complete and submit the online send off report form within 24 hours of the completion of the match.

Referees who, after clicking the “Submit Send Off Report Form” button, see a blank report form have not successfully submitted the report form.

Referees who have successfully submitted the report form will see the following message:

You have successfully submitted a send off report form.

Your submission will be reviewed by the MWFRA prior to being forwarded to the MWFA Judiciary.

If your report requires amendment, you will be shortly contacted to revise and re-submit your report.

Referees who encounter an error in submitting the report form should immediately email [email protected] with details of the send off.

Report Writing Assistance

Referees who require assistance with writing a send off offence description should compose responses to following 12 questions concerning the match and send off offence and email those responses to [email protected]

Referees will then receive via return email a draft send off offence description with which they can amend as required in completing and submitting the online send off report form.

  1. In which match did the sending off offence occur? (the teams, competition, grade, division, ground, date and kick-off time)
  2. What occurred to result in the sending off offence? (include as much detail as possible about the lead up to the offence, the offence itself and the aftermath of the offence – this is the most important question and your answer should be at least two short paragraphs)
  3. When did the sending off offence occur? (the minute of the match)
  4. Where did the sending off offence occur? (the location on the field)

  9. What was the score when the sending off offence occurred? (for example, Belrose Terrey Hills 2 Wakehurst 1)
  10. How did the referee restart play after the sending off offence? (for example, Wakehurst took a direct free kick)
