I'd talk to your head ref. You could also reach out to your volunteer coordinator. You're not the first ref I've heard from whose in the hesitant-or-no for next year boat. I'll have reffed some 300 matches by the end of the season, and I don't yet know how I feel about that. I do know, though, that we're risking
losing volunteers. I do like things about this game, but that's reason enough for me to dislike it.
As a coach, it's been frustrating. I'm glad the game has gotten better, but to me, Week 1 is as much a part of the game as Week 7. As some wise person said around here somewhere, it's like FIRST identified everything they've been historically bad at or that's caused major challenges, and made it absolutely critical to this year's game. Too much to watch for refs, too much inconsistency for teams, too many points of failure for everyone.
