 |
|
I am preparing a trivia game for the World Cup and one of the hints is: Time at the end of the second half to make up for stoppage due to fouls and injuries. Is it loss time? One of the co-teachers told me this but it sounds strange. Is she right? If not, what is the answer?
Thanks.  |

| If you are asking what it is called in the UK we normally call it "stoppage time". |

| The referee is the official timekeeper for the match, and may make an allowance for time lost through substitutions, injured players requiring attention, or other stoppages. This added time is commonly referred to as stoppage time or injury time. The amount of time is at the sole discretion of the referee, and the referee alone signals when the match has been completed. In matches where a fourth official is appointed, towards the end of the half the referee will signal how many minutes remain to be played, and the fourth official then signals this to players and spectators by holding up a board showing this number. |

3. Allowances for Time Lost
Allowance is made in either period for all time lost through:
� Substitution(s) entering and leaving the field of play. Try and hurry along any reluctant substitutions.
� Assessment of injury to players. Err on the side of caution before making a judgment as to the severity of an injury. Aggregating time on at the end of a half is far more sensible than making a mistaken judgment that could result in permanent injury of a player.
� Removal of injured players from the field of play for treatment. If an injured player is near the touchline and is not seriously injured, ask them to move (or be moved) out off the field of play to receive treatment. This will allow the game to proceed with minimal time lost.
� Wasting time. Do not hesitate to caution any player who is blatantly trying to waste time for whatever reason - including feigning injury.
� Any other cause - such as crowd or spectator trouble, having to discipline officials, treatment for match officials, broken corner flags, a dog on the pitch etc....... You may also need to consider stopping a game temporarily due to adverse weather conditions such as thunder and lightning or a sudden hailstorm. If this occurs, then the Referee must ensure that the full time is eventually played when the players return to the field of play.
The 'Allowance for time lost' is at the discretion of the Referee and must be aggregated to the end of each half concerned. It is sometimes a good idea to show players that you are noting any lost time by rising up your wrist and holding or pointing to your watch. This sometimes has the desired effect on potential time-wasters, and at the very least will pacify the losing team players when a winning team is blatantly time wasting towards the end of a match.
The allowance aggregated on at the end of each half for any time lost in the match is at the discretion of the Referee. There are other reasons to aggregating on time, other that those listed in Law 7 - such as delays in taking kick-offs, throw-ins, dropped balls, goal kicks, corners, penalties, free kicks, and replacement of lost or defective balls. Time should not necessarily be aggregated on for these normal elements of the game. The main aim of time allowance is to restore playing time to the match that was lost due to excessively prolonged or unusual stoppages, or to compensate for any blatant time wasting.
Players will inevitably keep asking you (the Referee) for the 'time left' as a half nears its completion, be prepared to give players the information, but not at the expense of loosing your concentration on the game. Wait until it is safe to look at your watch before giving players this information. Do not attempt to supply 'time left' information to players during the flow of the game - it is so easy for a Referee to miss an incident by just looking at the watch for just a split second.
Only the Referee really knows what time remains during a match: The only official clock is the stopwatch used by the Referee. The Referee is not obliged to inform teams (or anyone else) how much time remains during a match. Any publicly visible clocks can only show official time elapsed, and not the official time remaining, because only the Referee has the discretionary power to add time to compensate for time lost through delays. |
It may be a North American convention to call it "lost time" as opposed to injury or stoppage time. I have heard all three, but not "loss time" which really makes no sense. |

| I have heard stoppage time and injury time. I think injury time makes more sense cause its an accumulation of time the official deems that was taken up due to injuries in regular time. |
