I would like to volunteer, as I had planned to this year, however as my son is on a rookie team I was needed far more there than the local regional.

I would just like to say, even though emotions and feelings may be running high here, everyone, I believe, wants the same goal. A positive, inspiring, experience for the students/teams, as well as the volunteers. I'm sure refs aren't thrilled to have to handle (or not) "missed" calls throughout a competition. Be it better training, more refs, video replay, better game design, or some combination thereof, we all seem to be trying to achieve a common goal of better officiating, and a better experience for everyone involved.

At the end of the day, let's remember, these are students we're trying to inspire, and volunteers who give their time and energy freely. We owe it to them to respect that, and to respect each other.
