[quote=Anonymous]Reffed my FPYC games today.

The lone volunteer at the field most of the time I was there was a kid of about 17 or 18 who was so engrossed in his phone that he didn't notice me standing at the table.

As per usual, teams provided their own tents for shade.

Games were running late.

One of my ARs got added to the crew for my games this morning.

There are still opening for referees to get through the end of the day.

The games were close -- mostly because these teams in this weather could spend 60 minutes on a field with no opposition and barely score two goals. Not a lot of attacking prowess on display.

(Besides, this is right there in the tournament rules: "Posted game scores will not show more than a five-point difference in goals (e.g. 6-0 recorded as 5-0, 7-1 recorded as 6-1, 8-2 recorded as 7-2)." Just look at yesterday's scores from U9 Concorde boys -- two forfeits and four "five-goal" games. At U10 Concorde boys, all but two games have been "five-goal" games, and the other two were three and four.)

And you know what?

It was fine.

The coaches generally kept up a positive tone, which you don't often find in travel. Kids played hard but fairly.

And the ice cream truck did a lot of business.[/quote]
