I've been lurking for a week or so now and have come to learn certain things about being a part of the board:

1) If you don't know what you're talking about, you're gonna get trampled on, so know your stuff.
2) Jurassic Ref is always right. But when he's not, he still is. Just accept it and move on.
3) If you're not an official, you pretty much don't know what the he11 you're talking about when it comes to the rules and being a ref. (I would mostly agree with this one.)

Anyway, just wanted to say it's good to be here and I've learned a lot so far.

Here's my question:what are your TOP 5 pieces of advice you would give to a new guy starting out?
Let's start with the top 1 advice.

Learn to keep your mouth shut. Really.

Good luck with your aau games, you're gonna have fun.
