I just finished the second day of the contest today. It was extremely interesting, I was a bit unprepared for it, as I never expected to be doing a game with people who were older than I was. (a bit of backround, a 17 year old ref who stands 5'7 is officiating a game with 25 year old players who stand at least 6'3) It was very intimidating, I was expecting to do the younger kids. But I believe that it helped me learn a bit about my limits and I think that that's invaluable.
Overall it was a bit nervewrecking being the lone official on a court where everything needs to be called, because when working alone calls are going to be missed and that just pisses off the participants.
I would like to do it again, but I'm not sure whether or not to wait until I'm at least in the same age category as the players that I'll be officiating.
