Should we ref at schools we are associated with

[Mark Dexter]

If you have a connection to the school, you should not ref there unless there is some huge emergency/referee shortage.

Most referees can block this sort of thing out (some even tend to give calls to the visiting team), but all that is needed is the appearance of impropriety. All it takes is one last-second shot (which may be called correctly) in the home team's favor to tarnish that ref's reputation.
