Hey Oz,
If you don't have confidence in your knowledge of the rules, how can you officiate any game at any position? I didn't realize that the white hat is the only one who needs to know the rules!! If that is the case how does the other 3 or 4 guys in the black hats know what to do? Or do you just throw flags and blow your whistle and let the R figure it out? Every one on the field should be a rules expert and know the proper enforcement of penalties. You can't rely on one person to be perfect while the rest of the crew just tags along. Referee is just one of the ositions we work. It is should not be the superior position. Each of us has a distinct responsibility on the field based on where we are working that game. You can't expect your deficiency on some area of your responsibilities, whether it be rules or positioning, will be covered by one of your crew mates. They have enough to worry about.
