A couple of people referenced the rules above.

Sometimes we (meself included) think too hard about this stuff.

there is an old saying. "keep it simple stupid"

Not calling you stupid LOL, but the point is try not to over think everything.
Does someone have the same screen name as you? Unless you've done years and years or rec ball - it isn't the same but at least its something - didn't you make a post today about having your first freshmen games tonight?
Would you walk into a room with veteran officials, officials with state championship and college experience, and begin to talk about what we do as refs? With all the experienced posters on this board that is essentially what you just did. I looked at your post crazy like they would probably look at you if you went into a room saying the same thing. There is also an old saying about being seen and not heard...

I don't want to jump all over you, but think about it for a minute. At this point in your career, would you listen to someone with less experience to you tell you what officials do? If what you say is something you've heard a veteran say, preface it as such.
