If during a game in Arnprior a player or Team Official is eject from the game or a Game Incident Report is required, the Arnpior Team Manager is required to provide a stamped envelope to the Referee with the League Convenor's name and address on it.

This mostly applies to the competitive level. Competitive Team Managers have the address for their League Convenor.

The Referee will fill out the Game Incident Report, place it and the top copy of the game sheet into the Black Referee Box in the Referee's Room and then contact the Arnprior Referee-in-chief. The Arnprior Referee-in-cheif will pick up the envelope, fax the information to the appropriate individuals and mail the documents to the League Convenor.
