DIAGONAL SYSTEM OF PATROL
The Diagonal System of Patrol is the only System that is authorized to be
used in the Placer Youth Soccer League. THE DUAL SYSTEM WILL NO
LONGER BE USED.
USSF authorizes the following variations of the Diagonal System:
 One USSF Referee (Center) with two USSF AR’s
 One USSF Referee (Center) with One USSF AR and a Club AR
 One USSF Referee (Center) with Two Club AR’s (not from one of the
two teams)
 One USSF Referee (Center) with Two Club AR’s (from one or both of
the two teams)
 One USSF Referee (Center) with One USSF AR and no one of the
other touchline
 One USSF Referee (Center) only
(Club AR’s are normally obtained from the Home Team, however, can be
gotton from both Teams or anyone not a USSF Referee).
(Club AR’s will NOT call Offside or Fouls. Will only indicate ball in and out
of play, will NOT be preassigned, and will not be compensated).
The USSF Referee(s) assigned to that game shall first ask the Home Team
Coach for a Club AR. If one or both of the Club AR’s cannot be obtained
from the Home Team, ask the Visiting Team.
