I have reffed before. it was at an offseason event, but most teams take offseason events just as serious as onseason events, but thats besides the point. Each ref is suposed to watch one part of the field that thats it. it is thier responsibility to make sure that the area they are watching is in accordance to the rules. from what i understand, the ref that was there didnt know the rules every well. I see that as a problem. at a regional, we have well qualified refs, refs that know the rules very well and call the matches in accordence to the rules. but why is that different at the championship. from what i hear, there was a alot of refs that were first time volunteers. i think that is an issue that needs to be adressed. in the superbowl, you have to be a proven ref to ref, some on that is seasoned and knows the game very well. in FIRST, that is not true. we can have any joe schmoe ref, i think that that is not fair to the compitition.
