Hmm...

Well, since I'm a college student this year, I wasn't down on the field that much. I can't tell you how they interfaced personally.

I will tell you that I LOVED the addition of on-the-field reffing immediately after the field.

But I swear to you that on Saturday I saw about 10 offsides going uncalled. It was just weird...I don't know. I'll leave that judgement to people who interfaced with refs personally this year. All I can say for sure is that I was not impressed with the length and breadth of the technical difficulties at the BAE GSR this year, whether it be the inability to display the rankings or the befuddling scoring system that seemed consistently off.

Ah well. First year for progressive scoring, I think, so there are some understandable bugs to work out.
