”We have established a situation room where we communicate with all match commissioners two days before each match day. The NPFL has incorporated additional elements into their Rule Book, and we utilize the environment and opportunity of the situation room to emphasize these new regulations to all match commissioners.
”To whom much is given, much is expected. Given all the recent innovations and encouragement, any match commissioner who falls short will only have themselves to blame. There will be zero tolerance for carelessness, laziness, indiscipline, and failure to adhere to best practices moving forward.
