The old referee pay system is archaic. You get based on level rather than length of game. Your partner could be making more than twice than you are for reffing the same game. Also - with all the reporting responsibilities, roster checks, and parents many usa polo referees quit doing it even before c...

Foothill 15 Carlsbad 3 McIlroy the UCLA commit was rolled by the 2nd quarter.

It was just a minor act of misconduct, referee rolls with one hand is a minor and counts as a personal foul.

Wow.

I appreciate the insight guys. Lots of stuff I am learning reading the debate.

Stay safe, guys.

Unfortunately it will not be up and running this season.

Really too bad other programs were hit this way.

I disagree with referees reporting the scores. As much as this may seem like a good idea this is one more element that is tacked onto the referees plate that I don't think needs to be done. Incident reports are already filed to CIF-SS and for any red cards, misconducts, and flagrants referees do rep...

Good news is that Irvine PD has an excellent response time to incidents that happen. Also security will be available at the event so anything that goes against blue book and sportsmanship I’m sure CIF will handle it swiftly.

As a referee I dislike it when people start mentioning personal fouls and saying how disproportionate it is. If we are going to mention just that aren't we leaving out everything else in the game to get a full story? How about we talk about the speed of the swimming? The type of offense? Type of def...

There is no Minor Act of Misconduct (MAM) in USA/ FINA Water Polo.

Referee can give a misconduct for unsporting behavior or potentially an exclusion with a yellow card or a straight yellow to warn of unsporting behavior.

Foul outside of five meters with goalie out of the cage to end that game. If Servite executed their plan (if it was...
