Question Number: 19089Law 5 - The Referee 5/14/2008RE: USSF Grade 8 James Handsfield of Atlanta, GA United States asks...This question is a follow up to question 18895 Not a question but a comment.
First of all, good comments, all. I, too, carry several whistles for that very reason.
Second, if there are several fields close together then during the team check in I tell the players if they hear a whistle and they're not sure it's mine, keep playing - I will let them know if I want them to stop. Answer provided by Referee Keith Contarino Hi James. It seems to me most referees in the Atlanta area use a Fox 40 which is why I use an Acme Thunderer as my primary whistle. As to your instructions, I can see a problem with it as players may be difficult to stop since they may just say they didn't know whose whistle they heard.
