One man mechanics

[rgaudreau]

I know that in the league that I coach, it is very rare to get more than one ref except for playoff games. There aren't enough refs to go around.

We're gradually trying to train high school students to ref by involving them in local clinics. But it is not always too easy.

The worse thing about only having one ref per game is that if they get sick or delayed, the home coach has to take over. I enjoy reffing, but I'd rather coach my team, than ref a game they are playing in.
