While I still think the Conference has the right to contract or not contract with someone based on fairly arbitrary reasons, the situation may end up having a deeper impact. Example, now routine vision screening tests for refs might have to include peripheral vision tests. Do we have the "normal" 180 degree field of view or are we limited and how much of a limitation is acceptable, i.e. using 1 eye limits you to about 150 degrees field of view. Or, do we as refs need binocular vision so we can judge depth and distance accurately or are those vision factors that we as refs need not have "normal" ability in?
