Michigan State Championships

[GaryVoshol]

I'd like to thank all the teams at the MSC this weekend. While it was a fast and hard game, it was the easiest event to ref this year. The ref crew having done over 2600 games collectively helps, but the most credit has to go to the teams. The experience gained by the teams over 4 weeks really shows in Week 5. Even though this event had nearly twice as many matches as a district, I think there were less penalties - and there certainly were far fewer yellow and red cards.

This event rivals IRI. (And that's not a put-down of IRI; I've really enjoyed working there too. It's another kind of equal good.) I haven't reffed FRC in Atlanta, but I can't imagine that it gets any better than being here in Michigan.

I hope to see everyone in some off-season events, and can't wait to see what you do to improve next year. Because each year gets better.
