Rookie Official Experience

[stmaryrams]

I'm glad to see you have enjoyed yourself and are planning on coming back again next season. If you don't enjoy it, don't do it.
I have to agree with several of the others about knowing and "applying" the rules. It is the difference between professional officials and someone just coming out of the stands.
I also agree with you that game management is extremely important. A good combination of knowledge and management is needed.
As far as fans go, most are there for one team or the other and see things with blinders on. You will do better to not listen to them. That doesn't mean that sometimes they may have a better angle than both you and your partner(s).
Good luck on next season. Get a mentor if you can to improve your game.
