International audience; Cette communication questionne les modalités selon lesquelles les officiels se coordonnent pour contribuer à établir l’acceptabilité de la situation de jeu, et à montrer aux joueurs ce qui est possible. Elle montre que cette coordination se base notamment sur la reconnaissance, en situation et par chacun des officiels de ses propres prérogatives et de celles d’autrui.

International audience; Introduction: Rix (2005) adopts a non-normative perspective and methodology in order to understand referee’s activity in naturalistic context. The concept of judgment acts highlights the synthetic cognition of the referee: he shows to - and imposes on - players what is acceptable. More, the referee judgment does not consist in an application of rules to a reality. The rules are a resource.But the referee is a member of a group of officials: the collective aspect of refereeing on pitch has never been studied. Understanding the organizing role of the prescriptions about the task partition (official directives, training recommendations…) is not sufficient to grasp the coordination of the individual unfolding activities. So we investigate the mutual intelligibility (Poizat & al., 2009) among officials in order to determine the way each official contributes to produce judgment acts and what operational procedures enable this contribution in match.Method: We studied 3 games in French professional football championship. We examined the meaning the officials attribute to their own unfolding actions and radio communication. This meaning is implicit: we helped participants to render it explicit (Vermersch, 1999). We realized individual self-confrontation interviews with each official (referee, assistant and replacement referees) after matches: the game video recording allows them to relate to a particular lived-experience.Results: Assistant and replacement referees develop awareness about:- The referee information needs in situ. They focus on the bodily index of doubts the referee shows to make judgments acts. It enables them to provide information for the referee judgment act process at the right moment.- The referee’s tolerance threshold related to the intensity of the opponents’ physical confrontation. So they construct for themselves a compatible threshold to match the referee’s.By taking into account (or not) the information addressed to him to produce judgment acts the referee validate (or not) –tacitly or explicitly– the relevance of the information delivered by his colleagues.Discussion: The construction of mutual intelligibility of game situations is shaped by two interactive procedures: (1) the awareness towards referee activity that the assistant and replacement referees construct; (2) the episodes of regulation in which the referee validates information relevance (Poizat & al., 2009). From their perspective officials act on pitch in order contribute to judgment acts process. This contribution requires officials’ own understandings of the game to be compatible with each other: partly shared and partly specific.References:Poizat G, Bourbousson J, Saury J, & Sève C (2009).

International audience; Cette communication montre la compréhension que les arbitres (arbitres central et assistants) ont de leurs comportements respectifs. Elle met en évidence les manifestations comportementales ou communicationnelles des membres de l’équipe qui permettent à leur(s) partenaire(s) de saisir les compréhensions que chacun a du jeu, et ce tout en réalisant leurs tâches.

International audience; Cette présentation montre comment les arbitres d’un match de football construisent une compréhension partagée du jeu et de l’arbitrage. Cette construction repose essentiellement sur l’activité des assistants.

International audience; Introduction: To investigate the cognition within a team of football officials, we scrutinized their inter-individual activities. Method: We studied two games in a professional football championship. We worked with two teams of officials. Games were filmed from the stands, and individual self-confrontation interviews were realised. Verbalization analysis and video description were combined. Results and discussion: The assistant and replacement referees develop a specific awareness about the doubt the referee express in decision making process. They evaluate the preoccupations of the referee in a timing enabling to make appropriate information manifest in order to assist the referee by contributing toin his decision making process . Their individual awareness toward referee’s behaviours enables to construct a mutual intelligibility of the opponent physical confrontations.
