RefereeCard Control — Write-On Pencil-Erasable Match Card (Goals + Misconduct + Subs)

For referees who need more than the core layout

RefereeCard Control is designed for referees working matches where goals, misconduct, and substitutions all need to be tracked clearly and quickly.

It keeps your match information organized without forcing you to cram substitutions into margins, backs of pages, on an entirely separate card.

Built for high-level match admin
When the match moves faster, your notes need to keep up. RefereeCard Control gives you dedicated space for the key details referees commonly need in more competitive environments, while still keeping the layout clean enough to use at speed.

Why referees switch
Traditional paper match cards can get ruined by rain, sweat, or repeated handling, and are not designed to concurrently track substitutions, goals, and misconduct. Other write-on cards require permanent marker,  which can be messy and stain clothingl RefereeCard C

FAQs

What’s the difference between Core and Control?
RefereeCard Control adds dedicated substitution tracking to the goals and misconduct layout. If the matches you have unlimited substitutions, check out RefereeCard Core.

Is Control only for high-level or professional referees?
No. Control is great for any referee who wants to track substitutions on the card. Some referees also simply prefer the layout over RefereeCard Core or RefereeCard Command.

Do professional referees use this type of layout?
Yes, some professional referees prefer a simpler goals + misconduct + substitutions workflow, rather than a more detailed match-admin layout offered by the RefereeCard Command. If that sounds like your style, Control is likely the right fit.

What should I use to write and erase?
Pencil is recommended, but a permanent marker can be used as well. For pencil, we suggest a #2 mechanical pencil for clean and consistent writing.

How do I erase it?
For best results, use a white (soft) pencil eraser, most commonly found on mechanical pencils. If using a permanent marker, alcohol or nail polish remover should be used – we recommend nail polish remover wipes.

Will it work in rain or sweaty conditions?
Yes. All RefereeCard products are built for real match environments and handle moisture far better than paper or other write-on card products. When used with pencil, RefereeCard products even work underwater!

Is Control higher quality than Core?
No. Core, Control, and Command are different layouts built for different match admin needs. They share the same reusable, pencil-erasable material and craftsmanship as all other RefereeCard products.
