    3. The designated Team Official will then print their name at the top left of the opponents’ game sheet indicating that they checked the game sheet and all Team Officials and players cards.
    4. Any uncertainty or concerns will be brought to the attention of the referee to make the final decision.
    5. Any late players who are unchecked will be checked at half time by the referee.
