I'll toss in my two cents. I think everyone left off one of the most important things...HAVE FUN.

God, if you don't enjoy what you are doing (don't care if it your vocation or advocation) for Pete's sake quit. Life is way to short to be doing things you don't enjoy.

I will study the rules, work on game management, complete the proper paperwork for my association and the state, etc. I'll even send in the paperwork to get paid...but won't call and check the status of the payment. I do this because I enjoy it. Any money is a bonus. I don't worry about tracking mileage, meals and the small stuff (I will keep the receipts for thing over $50). If I was that concerned over the money and advancing I would have started much younger. The way I look at it, the kids in grades 5-8 need someone to call their games as well. If you want to focus on the bigger students so you can advance to the next level that's great, I'll take your rejects.

If this approach makes me a bad official, oh well...someone has the be the worse at every vocation and advocation.

Larry, you are obviously one of the good guys!

(BTW, if you're claiming this stuff on your tax forms then
I would encourage you to track your expenses closely. And
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only guy who is still owed
a few bucks by some school or league!)

Semantics...To me "how" will include "when". Said another way "when" is a funtion of "how". "How" to apply a rule, to me, means understanding what the rule's intent is and where it fits into the game. Better clarity on my position? [/B][/QUOTE]Much better clarified.I was pretty sure that you meant something like that,but the "how" can be interpreted different ways,as some other posters(including myself) did interpret it.

Apparently - not too long.

However, my best tip remains: tuck your whistle in your shirt before you take a leak.

Mark - either your a midget, or you use a lanyard that is way too long 🙂

This cannot be. Can it?
If we cannot apply a rule, I think we do not know the rule.

Agree with mick.I think a better statement might be "you can know the rules,but not know WHEN to apply them".That tells you that judgement still needs to be developed.Is that what you were trying to say,Stripes?

Are you sure you're not a mathematician? 😀

Not a mathmatician, but I'm sure I'm just a geek 😉
