Soccer Dad & Ref
SILVER ELITE
Another thing refs could do it take a pic of each player when checking in for the game and associate it with rostered players.
Again, over time it will look weird when one kid looks like 3 different players throughout the season.
No need for the Refs to stop the game from happening. Records will be there if the league wants to address.
Why not have the managers from the opposite teams check the teams in together? If there are concerns, they note it with a picture of the possible offending player, and turn it into the League. Referee should not have to be a part of this, absolutely ridiculous to think a referee should spend time squinting at the 10-year-old pictures of the kids and figuring out if that is still them.
Managers sign the rosters before the games, and if they are caught afterwards having lied, some sort of repercussion...
