Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008

This paid referees thing is getting a bit out of hand...

In my eyes, throwing money at the same volunteers is not going to fix a thing. I don't see these VOLUNTEERS as being malicioius people who only try hard when there is money involved.

Reffing/umping/whateveryoucallit is not easy EVER. I umpired little league, and it was not easy, and there were maybe 50 people at a game, let alone 3000 or so.

Professional help might be an option. Some referees will ref year round in several different sports. Its not unreasonable to have them jump in for the robotics season too...


sorry for the tangent..
