Ok, is everybody breathing? Good, you better be.
This is a subject that comes up every year, and as many posts previous have stated, it's not entirely feasible for all of the competitions to make this accommodation due to various types of limited resources: time, volunteers, and money.
There are many ways to make a difference in the refereeing process, many of which have been stated, and some of which have no place at this time of year. It is, quite honestly, too deep in the schedule to make a global accommodation for this in 2006. If you would like to recommend it for 2007, I'm sure your local team forum would be happy to listen, which is the most appropriate time frame for this request to be handled correctly.
Thank you for bringing it up for discussion, but the question has been explored, a general consensus has been achieved, and there are many more productive ways to spend our time right now. Let's move on.
