Alra Level 1 (Club Referee) Exam 2015

Mouth guards are a safety measure designed to protect players from dental and facial injuries during sports activities. The statement states that all players in all under age games must wear mouth guards, indicating that it is mandatory for their safety. Therefore, the correct answer is "True."

In U13 and U15 games, players are allowed to body check opponents if the opponent has possession of the ball. Possession is defined as being in the carrying position. This means that players can legally make contact with opponents above the hip and below the neck from the front or side. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.

The correct answer states that the team cannot play if they do not have a properly equipped goalkeeper. This means that in order to start the game, the team must have a player designated as a goalkeeper who has the necessary equipment to play in that position. Without a goalkeeper, the team cannot begin the game. This answer is the most logical and aligns with the rules and requirements of the game.

In U15 lacrosse, it is considered a personal foul if a player checks their opponent's crosse while only having one hand on their own crosse. This rule is in place to ensure fair play and prevent any potential dangerous or unfair advantage that could be gained by using only one hand. By checking the opponent's crosse with only one hand on their own crosse, the player is violating the rules and committing a personal foul. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

During the home and away season, U13 and U15 teams are allowed to have more than 16 players. However, in the finals, these teams are restricted to a maximum of 16 players. This means that during the regular season, the teams have the flexibility to have more players on their roster, but once the finals begin, they must adhere to the maximum limit of 16 players. Therefore, the statement "True" accurately reflects this rule.

The goalkeeper is required to wear additional equipment in addition to what all players wear. This includes a throat guard, chest protector, and a box/cup. These additional pieces of equipment are necessary to protect the goalkeeper from potential injuries during the game.

The goalkeeper's action of diving at the ball and knocking it away from the goal and out of the crease with his hand is considered a legal play. In soccer, the goalkeeper is allowed to use their hands within their own penalty area, which includes the crease. As long as the goalkeeper is within their penalty area and does not commit any other fouls, such as handling the ball outside the penalty area or fouling an opponent, it is a legal play. Therefore, the correct call in this situation is "Legal play."

No call, hockey pants are legal.

In this situation, the correct answer is that the team must all wear shorts of the same dominant color, but there is no penalty for not conforming. This means that while it is preferred for all players to wear shorts of the same color, it is not mandatory and there will be no consequences if they do not. As long as all the colors (red, grey, and black) are part of their uniform, it is considered legal. The opposition coach would have to specifically ask for a call or penalty for this situation to be addressed.

The correct answer is "No goal." According to the given scenario, Red #3 used his free hand to deflect the ball into the goal. In lacrosse, players are not allowed to use their hands to score a goal, except for the player who is holding the crosse. Therefore, since Red #3 used his free hand to score the goal, it is considered a violation of the rules, and the goal does not count.

For the face-off position to be legal, the sticks cannot touch the 4 inch wide centre line. Additionally, both hands must be wrapped around the handle of the crosse, and both the hands and the feet must be to the left of the throat of the crosse and on the defensive side of the centre line. Lastly, the helmeted head of the players must be to the left of the throat of the crosse.

If the ball carrier's crosse is checked from his hands and the ball falls to the ground but remains in the crosse, the correct call is to withhold the ball and blow the whistle immediately. This means that the play should be stopped and possession of the ball should be awarded to the opposing team. The immediate whistle is necessary to ensure fair play and prevent any further action from taking place.

The correct answer is Goal. In lacrosse, a goal is awarded when the ball is legally propelled into the opponent's goal. Although the Blue player used his hand to hit the ball, as long as he was holding his crosse (lacrosse stick) and not using his hand directly, it is considered a legal play. Therefore, the goal counts.

The correct answer is "Personal foul. Red serves a penalty for Unsportsmanlike conduct, award the ball to Blue." This is because during a face-off, players are not allowed to use their fingers to touch or pick up the ball unless their hand is around the crosse. If the Red face-off man used his fingers without having his hand around the crosse, it would be considered a personal foul for unsportsmanlike conduct. As a result, possession of the ball would be awarded to the Blue team.

The goal is credited to Red 7 because even though Red 6 initially shot the ball, it was deflected into the goal by a Blue player. Red 7 is the in-home player, which means he is responsible for defending the goal while sitting on the bench. Since the ball went into the goal as a result of the deflection, Red 7 is credited with the goal.

A free play cannot take place within 5 yards (4.57m) of the gate because it would give the attacking team an unfair advantage. Being too close to the gate would make it easier for the attacking team to score a goal, as they would have a shorter distance to cover. Therefore, to ensure fairness, free plays must take place at least 5 yards away from the gate.

The statement is true because according to the rules of the game, the legal inside measurement of the head of a player's stick at its widest point is indeed 6 inches to 10 inches. This means that the width of the stick's head should fall within this range in order for it to be considered legal during gameplay.

The statement is stating that the maximum length of a short stick is 42 inches (106.68cm). This means that any short stick cannot exceed a length of 42 inches. Since this statement is factual and does not contain any false information, the correct answer is True.

The statement states that the minimum length of a long stick is 52 inches (132.08cm). This means that any long stick must have a length of at least 52 inches or 132.08cm. Therefore, the statement is true.

In ice hockey, a goalie is allowed to cover the ball with their stick outside the crease as long as their feet are inside the crease. The Red attacker checking the part of the Blue goalie's stick that is outside the crease is a legal play because the ball is still under the Blue goalie's stick.

In ice hockey, if a shot hits the goalpost and then hits a defending player before entering the goal, it is considered a goal. The fact that the Blue defender was standing inside the crease does not matter in this situation. Therefore, the correct answer is True.

The explanation for the given correct answer is that according to the rules of the game, if the ball does not touch any other player outside the crease after the goalkeeper partially stops the shot, the goal is considered legal. In this scenario, the ball hits the ground and rolls over the goal line without touching any other player, so the referee correctly signals a goal. The fact that the flag was down and play ends when the shot is taken does not affect the legality of the goal. Therefore, the answer is true.

The given statement is true. In ice hockey, during a center face-off, the face-off man from the Red team is required to have his right foot to the right of the throat of his stick. Failing to do so would result in a technical foul by the Red face-off man.

The given answer, "False," is incorrect because the statement in the question implies that there is a technical foul by the Red team. A technical foul occurs when a team does not have the correct number of players on the field of play. In this case, the Red team only has 9 men on the field, which is less than the required number. Therefore, the correct answer should be "True" to indicate that there is a technical foul by the Red team.

After a loose ball technical foul is committed by Red before "Possession or Free Ball" is called, the ball is awarded to Blue in their defensive half. Red #5, an attack player, moves into the "central zone" to ride the Blue player. Therefore, the statement "TECHNICAL FOUL BY RED" is true.

The given statement is false. There is no technical foul committed by the Red player in this situation. The Red player runs out of bounds to avoid being offside, which is a common tactic used by players in soccer. As long as the Red player immediately returns to his side of the centerline, there is no foul committed.

The explanation for the correct answer "True" is that according to the given information, the ball is dead and Red still has a time-out left. Therefore, Red's Assistant Coach requesting a time-out is legal because they have a time-out remaining.

The goalie is considered to be in possession of the ball in his own crease. When he brings his stick back to clear, if the ball completely crosses the plane of the goal, it is considered a goal. Therefore, the goal counts.

The explanation for the given correct answer is that according to the rules of the game, when a shot goes out of bounds behind the opponent's goal, the ball is put back into play directly behind the goal, regardless of the distance from the goal. Therefore, it is true that the ball is put back into play directly behind the Blue goal, even if it is fewer than 20 yards from the goal.

When the ball goes out of bounds, it is awarded to the nearest in-bounds player. In this scenario, Blue #5 tries to pick up the ball but it goes out of bounds of his crosse. Therefore, the ball would be awarded to the nearest in-bounds player, making the statement true.

Based on the given information, Blue #5 is sent off for 90 seconds after the second flag is thrown. Red scores 15 seconds into Blue #5's penalties. Therefore, Blue #5 has 45 seconds left to serve after the goal is scored.

Teams can warm up in the half of the field that is closer to their own bench. This means that they can warm up in their own defensive half and midfield zones, but not in their opponent's attack goal area.

The correct call is a technical foul as the use of a metal cap is prohibited. This is because using a metal cap on the hollow aluminium handle is against the rules. The use of such a cap can potentially cause harm or injury to other players during the game. Therefore, the referee should penalize the player for this violation by calling a technical foul.

The correct answer is "Immediate whistle. Red ball, 18 metres laterally from the goal." This is because when the Red goalie catches the ball in his glove while still inside his crease, it results in an immediate whistle. The ball is then placed 18 meters laterally from the goal for a face-off.

Based on the provided scenario, the Blue defender, who is inside his own crease, picks up the ball and the count begins. Although the Red attacker checks the Blue defender's stick, the Blue defender retains possession of the ball. Since there is no violation or foul committed by either player, the correct action is to do nothing. No penalty or change in possession is warranted in this situation.

When the referee calls for a face off other than in the center, they will stop the clock on the whistle that stops play. After stopping the clock, they will then proceed to set up the face off. This ensures that the game time is paused while the face off is being prepared, and play can resume once everything is in order.

The correct answer is "Immediate whistle" because according to the given scenario, the Red goalie is outside his crease and without his stick, which is against the rules. The goalie is not allowed to make a save without his stick, and this action should result in an immediate whistle to stop the play.

The correct answer is "No goal and Blue #14 serves a 3min penalty for trick construction." The reason for this is that the shot deflected off Blue #14's helmet and not his stick, so the goal does not count. Additionally, Blue #14's stick is found to be too short and thus illegal, resulting in a penalty for trick construction.

In this scenario, the Red goalie is the nearest inbounds player to the ball as it goes out-of-bounds. According to the given information, the goalie is still inside his crease and without his stick when the shot goes out-of-bounds. Since the goalie is not counted as the nearest inbounds player, the ball is awarded to the Red team, making it a red ball.

The correct answer is "The stalling warning is over." This is because the question states that Red has been warned to "Get it in" but they have not yet done so. However, Red then regains possession of the ball. This implies that Red has successfully avoided stalling and the stalling warning is now over.

The correct answer is "Whistle. The ball is awarded to Blue." This is because the man in possession of the ball has stepped over the goal area line into the midfield zone, which is a violation of the rules. As a result, the ball is awarded to the opposing team, which in this case is Blue.

The correct answer is to throw the Signal Flag and when appropriate blow his whistle, inform the Head Referee what happened and apply the suitable penalty. In this scenario, the CBO witnesses a violent slash by a Blue attacker on a Red defender, even though it occurred away from the play. As per their responsibilities, the CBO should take immediate action by throwing the Signal Flag and blowing the whistle to draw the attention of the Head Referee. They should inform the Head Referee about the incident and apply the appropriate penalty to address the foul committed by the Blue attacker.

When a Blue player commits a crease offense, it results in both players serving penalty time. However, since the initial foul by Red is also present, the two fouls cancel each other out. As a result, no penalty time is served by either team. The possession of the ball remains with the Blue team.

The correct answer is "The In Home." In a game, when an expulsion foul is applied to a player on the field, the penalty time is usually served by the In Home player. The In Home player is typically responsible for serving penalties and is chosen by the team to take the penalty time on behalf of the offending player.

The next period starts with a face-off because the period ended after the foul was committed and the possession of the ball was not determined. A face-off is a common way to determine possession at the start of a period or after a goal is scored.

When a Blue player breaks legally over the centre line and two Red players go off-side while chasing him, a flag is thrown. However, the Blue team manages to shoot and score a goal. In this situation, both penalties (the off-side penalties for the Red players) are cancelled by the goal. As a result, the game will resume with a face-off.
