If you're not happy with the quality of refereeing, then volunteer for the position yourself or help recruit other people who you believe will be quality refs.
I know of at least two people who were irritated with the reffing situation this weekend, and both of them let me know that they absolutely will be refs in Indiana next year, to help us improve our local cache.
Don't just complain on CD. Do something about it.

This is a common circlejerk that I see being posted whenever anyone criticizes the quality of refereeing that occurred this year (and is quite frankly the definition of a
straw man fallacy). It's entirely illogical. All because someone feels the quality of refereeing this year wasn't exactly exemplary doesn't mean they have no respect for the hard work put in by referees.
