Yea, I know, my partner made that very clear. But as refs, it's not our concern is it? I mean, if there's an adult sitting there, we don't need to ask to see his credentials? I'm sure I've been told that it's not an issue for us.
I'd say that it is your concern. If your association makes this requirement clear to all of the member officials and then a situation arises for it to be adhered to you better darn well apply it. The real problem is that if you choose to continue a contest without at least asking whether the person taking over the team is certified, then you could face serious after the fact issues, if something bad happens. The question is going to be why did you permit this contest to continue?
