I can agree with this. I noticed it this weekend, having reffed at Mt. Olive and then my team be competing at Groton. At first, I was a little annoyed at how they seemed to not be calling posession sometimes(and not just due to refs looking a different direction) and how it differed than how we called it at MO, but by Saturday afternoon, I had a pretty strong grasp of how they determined themselves to be calling posession. I have no problem with this because they were consistently calling it a certain way throughout the individual event. This is the most realistic situation I can see.
