Suggest you be familiar with the game first. NO other sport is like soccer. Officials have to use much more judgement. Advantag is part of no other sport.

Do you only officiate soccer or do you officiate other sports? I officiate four sports (including soccer) that I posted above. Soccer does have the advantage clause codified in its rules, but basketbal has its advantage/disadvantage philosophy. Aside from the advantage clause in soccer there is nothing in soccer that requires more judgement than other sports. Even though I do not officiate football, field hockey, ice hockey or lacrosse, I know officials that officiate football or ice hockey and the judgement process is much the same as in basketball and soccer.
