Loners -
First, let me say welcome to the board. I am only in my second yr reffing in "the bigs" (i.e. - non-wrec) and really get good advice from the members here.
Pants - you'll just receive less scrutiny if you go beltless. Meaning, vets will never look at you oddly if you go beltless, but others are very opinionated as to not liking the belted pants. As a newbie, it's just easier to "fit in" going beltless. IMO
As for your play - as you have heard, there's no substitute for getting one of the books/manuals and reading up.
Good luck!
