You should volunteer to be a ref then.

Yes, we could use more people stepping forward for this lightly paid job. ("Volunteer" isn't really accurate.) But whoever steps forward could use more mentoring, and someone needs to be trained to blow the whistle every once in a while.

In other words -- it's a little too deep of a problem to be solved by two more people volunteering, er, applying.

[b]You are right - complaining about it on anonymous internet boards is much more likely to resolve the issue.[/b][/quote]

Exactly.

If you don't like the level of the refs, maybe do some work on finding out WHY the level of reffing is so terrible. Probably because it's a terrible job.  Work to change that, and you'll get better refs.  But just complaining about it while refusing to get engaged (or do the work yourself) is ridiculous.

I used to coach youth sports and reffing was an incredibly thankless job.  Parents are awful to the refs, who are often just kids themselves.[/quote]

What makes you think I'm not engaged beyond this message board?[/quote]
