I agree with JR on the point that it may look like an "ol boy system" but if you are a good ref the good ol boys will notice you believe me and you will get more games.
It takes time and I know it sucks when you move from a situtaion where you are known to another situation where you are treated as a youngin.
If you dont liek the way they do stuff there is only 2 things, try to get elected and change it from the inside or move again, or once you get known, slowly ask questions about their interpretations, you know lil bits here and there, like" I thought this rule was this and that, and maybe even read the rule and ask for their interpretation" make them know you know the rules and you are aware them.
good luck in ur new board though
