Captains Initiative - Commences 18th January 2025
Trial protocol
The following procedure will apply:
•The referee can initiate the ‘only the captain’ protocol at any stage, but it is most likely to be used following major decisions and to prevent major confrontations
•The referee will blow the whistle and initiate the ‘only the captain’ protocol by using the following new signal:
•Crossing your arms across the chest •Uncrossing their arms and moving them in front of their body with their palms open in a forward pushing motion to indicate that the players must not approach
Where appropriate, the referee may move away from the players to create the captain-only zone
• The captain-only zone extends for 4 m (4.5 yds) around the referee
• No player is permitted to enter the captain-only zone except each team’s captain, who should wear an identifying armband
• The captain has a degree of responsibility for encouraging team-mates to respect the captain-only zone and remain at least 4 m (4.5 yds) away from the referee
• If one player other than the captain enters the captain-only zone, the offender should be cautioned (YC) for dissent by action
• If more than one player from a team enters the captain-only zone, at least one player must be cautioned (YC) – this will usually be the first unauthorised player to enter the captain-only zone or the player whose approach is most aggressive
• Any incident in which more than one unauthorised player from a team enters the captain-only zone must be reported to the appropriate authorities after the match*
• The captain must approach and interact with the referee in a respectful manner; failure to do so may result in disciplinary action
• After interacting with the captain(s), the referee may decide to delay the restart of play to give the captain(s) time to speak with their players to explain a decision, demand proper conduct etc
