All Competitive Youth Games – No Exceptions: League and OSYSA rules of competition do not have the authority
to approve a two or three whistle referee system. Only the Diagonal System of Control (one whistle) is acceptable. All sanctioned youth tournaments in Ohio South are “Competitive” games.
USSF does not allow its referees to use the dual (2 whistle) system and a referee’s USSF liability insurance coverage would be invalid in such an instance.

Three adults have been assigned to a officiate a U14 boys game using the diagonal system. One official fails to show up and no one is available to serve as a Club Linesman.
Both coaches, who are familiar with both officials, agree that using two-whistles would provide a better officiated match and insist that the match be officiated using two whistles.
In this situation it would then be acceptable for the two referees to officiate the game using two whistles.
