Question Number: 14764Mechanics 1/30/2007RE: Pro Under 17 Chris of Deerfield Beach, Florida U.S. asks...What signal does the referee use to signal the end of a match? Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol There is no set signal for the end of the match. If play needs to be stopped, the whistle must be blown. Often refs come up with unique whistle patterns for the end of the periods, involving multiple or long tones, sometimes with a decay.

View Referee Gary Voshol profileAnswer provided by Referee Ben Mueller Each referee has unique whistle tone and length for that. I blow my whistle twice with a medium blow and point to center circle on the second blow. I do the same to end each half.
