Always have the 2nd elastic "down marker" for ball position. Back in CNY, the home teams would provide towels for me. Down here they want us to bring one. I carry a small one for games even in dry conditions to wipe sweat off the ball and even let the center wipe his hands. If it is pouring rain, the home team better have some big towels. I'll keep the ball covered until the center comes over the ball. I worked a game back in Syracuse at SU's Coyne Field in a driving rainy cross wind. I had to hold onto the ball till the center came, or it would just blow to the sideline. One of those games where you wonder why you are out there !
BTW--this is my 40th season (8 in SW FL) and my last. Time to hang them up when this one is done.
