After I worked the semi-final game of the local JUCO league tournament, the evaluator for the tournament asked to have a word with me privately. He said to me that I work a very nice, steady game, but that he thought I needed a little more flamboyance in my game and that was why I didn't get the final.

I have thought about this for a few days and have wondered how I will inject some flamboyance into what I do. I know that you in the cyber-world don't have the luxury of seeing others here work, but what would you suggest? Being flamboyant is something that I have consciencously avoided to this point. I was always taught that the best refs were invisible in the overall picture of the game (i.e. the players are the show). This puts me into a quandry--how to be a little "showier" without becoming the show?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
