We need to increase the talent level of the referees from within. We must become a part of the solution.

I knew I wanted to be a referee after I graduated, but my freshman class schedule did not permit me to do so at my two local regionals, SVR and Davis. I enjoyed refereeing Cal Games 2007, and next year I plan to be a referee at both SVR and Davis, possibly at Championships too if I get the chance. I think coming into refereeing with same "read the rulebook front and back, twice" mentality that I (and many other FIRST alumni) had as a student will help me make more consistent calls. Hopefully
