Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You're refereeing a game. Team A is playing against Team B. It is a nice day out and the park allows dogs, so a fan of Team A has brought their golden retriever. All of a sudden, the dog runs on to the field, steals the ball from a player, and moves it down the field until the ball goes out on the touchline. When the pooch has been removed, how do you restart the game?
2. Team A is setting up for a free kick. A defender goes to kick the ball, but he realizes that his kick isn't very powerful. He turns around and passes back to the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper, caught off guard is unable to save the ball as it rolls into the goal. What's the call?
3. An attacking player (number 13) on team B didn't sleep well last night, and he's very tired. He's so tired that he curls up on the field near the corner arc and falls asleep in an offside position. A few minutes later, play returns to Team A's side of the field. A goal is scored, but the parents on Team A are screaming about an offside call. Do you make one?
4. The weather is getting a little bit crazy, but the game still goes on. The ball is placed for a direct free kick to team B. Number 0 goes to take the kick. The ball is kicked and flies directly to you, the referee. Because you are also a soccer player, you trap the ball from the air before realizing that you shouldn't have touched it. You move away, embarrassed. What's the call?
5. While walking on the field, you notice that you have dropped your whistle. Panicking, you stop the game and ask for help from the coaches. They are upset, but offer to help you look for your whistle. A minute later, with all the players searching, they can't find it anywhere. A fan from team B has a megaphone, and offers that instead. What do you do?
6. It's Team A's turn to kick off, and Number 11 is the kicker. He kicks the ball, and it looks like it's heading for the goal. Unfortunately, the weather has continued to get worse, and the wind has picked up considerably. The wind blows the ball against the crossbar, and then completely changes direction and brings it back to the center. While the teams stand bewildered, Number 11 starts to dribble the ball up the field. What happens?
7. The weather has gotten too out-of-hand in your opinion. You stop the game and the coaches agree to a restart once the wind has died down. In 10 minutes, not a twig branch is blowing, so you head back out to the field. The rules of competition say that you start the game with however much time you had left. How did you restart the game?
8. Before you restart play, you notice that the corner flags are missing. Luckily, the pre-history museum nearby has offered to lend you some five-foot long spears with towels on them (Upon further examination, the museum discovered that the spears were not prehistoric relics but were actually tree branches that had been whittled down). Do you use them?
9. After the game, the players are shaking hands, and a player on Team A swears at a player on Team B. You overhear this as you record the score. Do you call a foul?
10. As you're leaving, you see team C arrive in time to warm up for their game. You notice that they appear to be wearing wrestling singlets-outfits. The coach comes up to you, unsure whether or not they are allowed to play with them and wanting a second opinion. Are they allowed?
