FIRST has taken many steps to improve the program, and a big focus seems to be volunteer training. Have faith that the referees have been thoroughly screened, and know the game well. I can't speak to how open the referee test is to the public.

I'm sure it's great. I was honestly just curious, and want to take a look at it. I was not attempting to be critical of any volunteers or refs.
Sorry if it came of that way.
