It sounds like there was a lot of illegal bin placement this year. However, that is no excuse for saying the referees were doing a poor job. Remember, they are unpaid volunteers who selflessly give their time to see that things run as fairly as possible. Sure, there are referees who do not truely understand the rules. Also, there are referees like Bill Gold, who understand the game a great deal and try to be as fair as possible. Whatever the case, referees, especially inexperienced ones, make mistakes, and complaining about them on a forum where they will probably never go and will not be able to reply is not a very nice thing to do.
