Today during my 02G daughters DPL Legends game, OC Surf coach wanted to call the game after half time after complaining about heat and having no subs and losing 2-0 at that point. Final score was 8-0. Refs kept game going after half but then called game at 39.5 minutes in a 45 minute 2nd half. Can Refs do this? I've been ref'ing for a long time and have always been told that you must keep the play time per half the same. First half was 45 mins. I understand the coach was probably not liking the score but should ref have called the game over 5 mins early, shorting our girls play time and potentially our subs? Plus, don't we pay the refs to ref a full game and not partial? There were no issues in the game other than slight heat. I feel somewhat ripped off especially since my daughter came in during the 2nd half of the 2nd half and so she was shorted those minutes.
