Re: A Rookie Forum?
I agree with Ken Wholeheartedly!
I have been a Head Ref/ Ref for the past four years and it's amazing the number of questions asked me on Thursday/Friday/Saturday by both old seasoned teams and rookie teams. I don't typically answer them with the phrase "It's in the manual" or "look at the Q&A" section on the website but instead, I try to answer the question.
Sometimes you don't know what you're supposed to know so please be a gracious professional and help them out with the question and not tell them to look elsewhere.
I vote for a rookie formum.
ps:
By the way - at a minimum, having the drive team re-read the rules and Team up-dates before each and every competition makes the referees job a whole lot easier (this goes for team mentors as well)
