The referee's authority begins when he arrives at the area of the field of play and continues until he has left the area of the field after the game has been completed.  The referee's authority extends to time when the ball is not in play, to temporary suspensions, to the half-time break, and to additional periods of play or kicks from the penalty mark required by the rules of the competition.
