. It has been brought up and has been a major issue with the administration of the basketball games in how we assign referees to administer the games.
The big area of consternation is the teams that play at 8:00 have to have a referee for the boys games at 6:00 and 7:00, then play at 8:00 then referee at 9:00. Some teams just do not have any players who can physically get off work go home eat and get to the gym by 6:00.
The reason we do this is what we see as a need for competent neutral referees. We don't want players to say to a referee you made that call for Xward because you ar from Xward.
In a move to make it so much easier to administer we will propose at the basketball meeting Jan 14, 7:00 at the Anoka stake center, that the young men's games be refereed by those teams, the men's teams will no longer be assigned under threat of a forfeit to show up early and referee.
So who will referee? Whoever the teams playing can get, if there is someone from the men's team who will do it, or a parent or the coaches, or worse case scenario if no adults are present the boys can self officiate.
We will have referees for the tournaments.
Not sure why, maybe it is that the young men are going on missions at 18, but the regular season is less intense as in the past, there are more and more games where only a couple players from one team show up so they split and play practice games, many games are forfeits, which means some men went out of there way to get there to referee only to have no game.
We experimented with some Saturday morning games in which they self officiated and it went ok. Volleyball and Futsal are self officiated.
So if you have ideas on the matter bring the. To the meeting.
Merry Christmas
