Tough situation. While I suppose that some could say that knowing the rules inside and out might not be critical to an assignor, it certainly is critical to a rules interpreter.
Hopefully you have some other refs who will support you (although they certainly didn't pipe up during the meeting) in finding a rules interpreter for next year who has cracked the books open a time or two. It does a disservice to all the kids who play the game when the officials are being taught wrong.
