IU/Purdue from the weekend

[Chess Ref]

i am not trying to be a smart aleck but is board this considered the water cooler. i come here cause my perception is that this board seems to want to do it the right way. In my world the quality of ref varies by vast amounts. Another example-last night big conference GV matchup. One of the refs has on a I am going to Las Vegas nugget bracelte that glistened all night. Because of this board i have chosen to not even wear my wedding band on the court. i am a first year ref just trying to learn and do the best I can. But even i can see the obvious and comment on it.
