They count towards the 20 game requirement, but they can't be used for observation as not long enough.
Despite more football being played than a standard 90 minute match...They count towards the 20 game requirement, but they can't be used for observation as not long enough.

Logically my brain says you observe the 2 games as one.
But I also can see cons as well - game 1 goes horribly, all the players you sent off in the first can play in the 2nd. Could make or break a season etc.
Thanks RustyRef, is that definitely true for all counties? My RDO has told me they don't count at all.
I'm fixtures sec for my league and I will engineer fixtures that are not double headers for referees on promotion from that CFA if necessary. We have referees from at least four CFAs, ideally this would be standardised.
