Sure has been fun lurking and following the progress of this thread! (seriously, I was really busy today and this is the first chance I've had to check the board)
representing,
I hope you will take to heart what Smitty, Tomegun and a host of others have tried to explain to you - and I'm not referring to just in this thread, but others you have originated or participated in. Im sure it's not your intent, but some of your posts come across as a little "overly positive" in nature...and it really doesn't help when they're factually incorrect.
Reading and learning the rules is only a start - to become a good official you need to also comprehend them within the context of the game, and know how to apply them in various situations and circumstances. As others have said, this board can be a great learning resource.
A couple suggestions - take them or reject them as you choose:
1. Read voraciously and post sparingly
2. Don't post "factual" information unless you're 200% sure you're correct
3. Choose your words carefully - how you say something can be just as important as what you say
It appears you've gotten off a little on the wrong foot here, but it's not too late to correct that. Not a single official here has ever called a perfect game, but it's what we continually strive for - and an important part of that is learning from our mistakes.
