Hmmm, just thinking here (run, run away!). But is it possible to attach some kind of FAQ to this forum? It would make a handy place for newbies to go to learn things like what POI and other TLAs stand for.

I love the discussions on philosophy, mechanics difference, issues related to moving up and advancing, what good camps to attend and what to do when you get there. Most of all I love the different opinions and views you see all over the country and world.

I really get bored out of my mind with the, "the official at my game did this........were they correct?" type of discussions. I also get really board with the repetitive rules debates over the same rules. Nothing wrong with discussing new rules or POEs to some extent, but to debate the 100 was to call a backcourt violation get old really quick.

I hate when people take this board too seriously. Most people you will never meet, want to know or every work a game with. So I will never understand when someone gives a damn what someone does in on part of the country, when you know they do it differently in another part of the country. It is interesting to discuss those issues, but when folks start telling others what do to, because "their" evaluators want "me" to do it that way, is a bit over the top. One of the reasons I always try to make it clear, "where I live we do this....." It is up to you after that to realize that might not apply to your structure in your area. I work for many assignors and belong to more than one official's association. So what I do is not going to always translate.

I really have no opinion on the personal attack part. Mainly because I am going to be successful regardless of what someone thinks. It is easy to get behind a computer and run their mouth, but when you are finished running your mouth, it did not make you a better official, your schedule or the level you are allowed to officiate is still the same and trying to belittle someone about it is not going to make them a worse official all of a sudden. I find them funny, because when they are directed at me, I still am asked to speak at camps or meetings, I still am asked to run associations or join boards, I am still asked to represent an organization that I belong to in something. And when Tony and I have gotten into it, no matter what I say to him or what he says to me, he still has done a State Final and I have not. And if I have respect or not, ultimately is with the people that I have worked with and have had to deal with me or anyone personally. That is why I always take on those that get personal, because it provides a great deal of humor and fun for me. Maybe I am sick that way. ;)

Peace

Google apparently doesn't like a few other folks either.

Go to google home page and type in "weapons of mass destruction" and hit the "I'm feeling Lucky" button instead. Read the error message carefully.

Not sure how long that message will last.

Your search - BFD site:www.officiating.com - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:
- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
- Try different keywords.
- Try more general keywords.
- Try fewer keywords.
Also, you can try Google Answers for expert help with your search.


I guess not. :(

Thanks to cmathews.
 
These Weapons of Mass Destruction cannot be displayed
The weapons you are looking for are currently unavailable. The country might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your weapons inspectors mandate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

Click the Regime change button, or try again later.

If you are George Bush and typed the country's name in the address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly. (IRAQ).

To check your weapons inspector settings, click the UN menu, and then click Weapons Inspector Options. On the Security Council tab, click Consensus. The settings should match those provided by your government or NATO.
If the Security Council has enabled it, The United States of America can examine your country and automatically discover Weapons of Mass Destruction.
If you would like to use the CIA to try and discover them,
click Detect weapons
Some countries require 128 thousand troops to liberate them. Click the Panic menu and then click About US foreign policy to determine what regime they will install.
If you are an Old European Country trying to protect your interests, make sure your options are left wide open as long as possible. Click the Tools menu, and then click on League of Nations. On the Advanced tab, scroll to the Head in the Sand section and check settings for your exports to Iraq.
Click the Bomb button if you are Donald Rumsfeld.



Cannot find weapons or CIA Error
Iraqi Explorer
Bush went to Iraq to look for Weapons of Mass Destruction and all he found was this lousy T-shirt.

Now that's funny. BTW, if you click on the buttons in the message it takes you to Amazon. The prices are in FIBA, must be from France
