Ending a Period of Play
Nov. 7, 2005
Law 5 empowers the referee to act as timekeeper and to keep a record of the match. Law 7 instructs the referee to add time (at his or her discretion) for time lost in either half of a game or in any overtime period for the reasons listed in Law 7. The referee takes this into account in applying discretion regarding the time to be added.
