If teams are really that concerned with the accuracy of a pre-season scrimmage that is largely meaningless, then they can let me know in a PM and we'll see what we can do for future events.[...]

Official events will have more experienced volunteers. Scoring this game certainly won't be easy, but I'm willing to give the volunteers a bit more credit.

Exactly. SCRRF Scrimmage only had one ref (me), and my basic function was to signal a crossing/goal shot--or call a foul if needed. I missed several crossings, partly because I was looking elsewhere. (Also, a number of teams crossed defenses for practice not for points.) We didn't even try to keep score, though occasionally I'd signal a damaged defense.

This is going to be an interesting game to officiate, no doubt about it.
