First Time Camper
I'm attending an ACC Camp in July for the first time. Is there anywhere to get a NCAA Rule Book??

Dan's advice is pretty good. Go to learn. Try to relax and enjoy being around other referees. If the Yanks and Red Sox are playing during the camp, go down to TGIFriday's and watch the game with Dan. (I'm assuming that he'll be willing to meet you for the game, since he doesn't have any friends! )

The other thing I'd suggest is make sure you're prepared physically. Make sure you know if you should have pants or shorts. (The first time I went to Nunn-Better, I didn't do that and I had to run to Walmart to buy black polyester pants.) Have your rulebooks. Be in shape. Take an extra pair of shoes, in case one splits. If you eliminate all those little things that could distract you, you'll be able to concentrate on refereeing. Good luck.

I thought you banished yourself from all but the baseball thread?

Did you get a reprieve?

I never said that. I just said I would be posting very infrequently. But this thread seemed like a good one to respond to.

You mean, did I get fired?

(Ok, I'm heading back under my bridge)

You might give him a break, mick. He's been away so long, I'm sure some of his annoying Spelling and Grammar Guy skills have deteriorated with non-use.

I dunno, last week he posted that Mrs Annoying Grammar/Spelling Guy (Gal??) was expecting to get an inch or 2 soon...

You can read it (or print it, probably) at www.ncaa.org. You can probably also buy a copy from the website.
