Mark,

I would like to see your "10 Commandments" of officiating! Maybe you and Dave can come up with something!
Actually, in our association there are a few "unwritten" rules. Of course, the most important is the one I listed above (Juulie may not have to do this, of course).

Others include:
(said to your partner) "If this game goes into overtime, IT'S YOUR FAULT!"

The coach is always wrong - always.

Never eat chili dogs before or during a game. Have some respect for your partner.

Whenever a coach asks you why you did something, reply "BECAUSE THAT'S THE RULE!"

Our motto: Occasionally wrong, but never indecisive.

And, of course, never wear white underwear under tight pants. This one should be self-explanatory.
